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 fast-paced, lighthearted side-scrolling brawler where you punch aliens as a cartoon cat bodybuilder, blending over-the-top action with silly humor and bright hand-drawn visuals.

What players say

Players love the over-the-top 90s anime parody and the absurd humor, with a bodybuilder cat fighting aliens. The hand-drawn art, animated cutscenes, and voice acting impress, especially for a solo dev. The gameplay divides opinion: some find the platforming smooth and easy, others call it janky with frustrating bosses. The game is short, around 5-6 hours to 100%.
