The 3D catalog: game boxes on wooden shelves, with the cat sitting at the counter next to its greeting.

The catalog in 3D

The same catalog has a room you can walk around in. The cat behind the counter is the AI Catbot, and they pick real games from it when you tell them what you feel like playing. Nothing is for sale, here or in there. Go in from here and this game is already out on the counter, with more like it waiting on the shelf next to it.

How it feels

A frenetic, physics-defying brawler where every punch sends opponents flying through planets and absurd props, driven by a gleefully ridiculous cartoon aesthetic.

What players say

Players describe it as a 2D Dragon Ball-style fighter that relies on quick time events and button mashing rather than combos, calling it fun in short bursts but shallow after a few hours. The arcade mode's final boss is considered unfair, and the game lacks online play, so it is strictly local. Sentiment is split on its long-term value, with many saying it is only worth picking up on a steep sale.
