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 arcade racing party where you build bridges and compete with friends in chaotic local or online mayhem.

What players say

Players describe it as a simple arcade bridge-building game where you time button presses to place roads. While the core loop can be addictive, split opinion on the difficulty, bugs and lag in multiplayer, repetitive music, and overall feel of a mobile port are common complaints.
