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 straightforward 2D pixel-art platformer where you jump and fight through hand-crafted levels, collecting coins and power-ups.

What players say

Players call it a solid but simple action platformer with tough difficulty and pixel art, but note there is almost no story and no special abilities beyond jump and attack. Some report a controller configuration issue.
