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 chaotic, physics-driven bowling game with obstacle-filled tracks, power-ups, and a focus on competitive local multiplayer.

What players say

Players call this a wacky and fun free game that mixes bowling with obstacle courses, though some find it more of a marble roller than actual bowling. Fans enjoy the weird ball shapes and music but split on the supporter DLC locking achievements and the need for more content and multiplayer.
