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 basketball brawler where exaggerated character abilities and physics keep the action lighthearted and chaotic.

What players say

Players praise it as a fun arcade basketball game with lots of modes and characters, especially for fans of the mobile original. However, many report a game-breaking 2x speed bug tied to high refresh rates, and some mention glitches with the save system and ability inputs. DLC is widely seen as overpriced, and multiplayer matchmaking is hard to find.
