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 gleefully absurd brawl where floppy gelatin fighters flail and tumble through ridiculous environments, making every punch and grab a shambolic comic disaster.

What players say

Players love the hilarious chaos and wonky physics when playing with friends, but many report terrible server connection issues that make it hard to join or stay in games. Controls take getting used to, and the game has not seen many updates through its life.
