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, high-energy arcade breakout with flashy effects and a thumping soundtrack that keeps the tension and frustration high.

What players say

Players consistently report poor mouse controls with a dead zone and sluggish acceleration that makes the paddle unresponsive. The neon visuals are so busy they distract from the gameplay. A bug blocks levels after nine, leaving the game unfinished for some.
