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 strategic, timing-focused simulation where you study race data to build reputation while occasionally pummeling rivals in battle mode.

What players say

Players describe Jockey Rush as a simple arcade racing sim focused on jockey strategy, with no breeding or training. They appreciate the realistic track simulations and horse behavior, but find the career progression shallow and the jockey reputation grind tedious. Some struggle with the jumping mechanics, and there is no management layer like buying or selling horses.
