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 frantic cartoon brawl where you chain bomb explosions and knockbacks to cleverly decimate waves of enemies before losing a life to permadeath.

What players say

Players praise the concept and art but report severe lag late-game, especially with large bombs, making it nearly unplayable. The difficulty is sharp with no meta progression, and upgrades are heavily RNG-dependent. Reviews split on whether the potential outweighs the current performance problems.
