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 quick, arcade-style skateboarding game where the player dashes through colorful planets, racking up points with tricks in short, adrenaline-pumping sessions.

What players say

A free skateboarding obstacle-course game from university students that players find fun in short bursts. Its difficulty is noted as rewarding but the tutorial has a game-breaking bug where the player falls through the floor, and the controls, especially on keyboard, could be better.
