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

Fighting to a metal beat, you struggle to stay on stage while blasting opponents away in chaotic local multiplayer matches.

What players say

Players are split on this hybrid of arena brawler and rhythm game. The need to watch a note bar instead of the fighters divides those who find it frustrating from those who enjoy the challenge, though spamming attacks works since misses carry no penalty. Reviewers praise the original 8-bit metal soundtrack.
