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 nostalgic, frantic co-op arcade brawler where you and friends slash through colorful pixel-art levels in chaotic, side-scrolling combat.

What players say

Players praise the short, fast-paced co-op action and SNES-era charm, with each of the four animal characters playing differently. The art and music get consistent applause, and the local multiplayer for up to four is the standout feature, though some find it quite difficult even on easy mode.
