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, physics-based side-scrolling driving game where every track is a gauntlet of obstacles, demanding precise control and quick reflexes to simply stay alive.

What players say

Players describe Hero Express as a simple arcade driving game similar to Hill Climb Racing, often calling it a mobile or flash game ported to PC. It has a one more try quality that balances frustration with satisfaction, but reviewers note it lacks depth and variety between levels. The game is best in short bursts, as longer sessions can become boring.
