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 wobbly, slapstick scramble where you cling to friends' limbs and swing through levels, laughing as everyone plummets into the abyss.

What players say

Players love it as a couch co-op game where physics-based slapstick makes for chaotic fun. It is easy to pick up with anyone, but online connectivity is unreliable and solo play is dull.
