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 joyful, physics-driven sandbox where you pilot custom vehicles to systematically demolish structures, with a tactile and satisfying crunch.

What players say

Players praise the physics and the thrill of designing machines to demolish buildings, calling it a satisfying sandbox that scratches a Blast Corps itch. However, many feel the fun is undercut by timed missions and levels that restrict what you can destroy, with some finding later stages too reliant on trial and error.
