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

Riding a bike through colorful streets, tossing pizzas at porches and dodging obstacles in a breezy, upbeat arcade chase for high scores.

What players say

Players compare Food Boy to a Paperboy homage where you deliver and throw pizzas, but the slingshot-style aiming on the right stick takes getting used to and reviewers disagree on whether it becomes intuitive. The game is short and challenging, with some saying the price is too high when not on sale.
