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 frantic, high-intensity side-scrolling shooter where careful power-up choices and quick reflexes are key to surviving bullet-hell hordes and permadeath.

What players say

Players are split on Kuggs. Some see it as a fun, challenging arcade platformer with a unique art style, while others call it a broken, barebones asset flip. There is no tutorial or save feature, and the game has bugs, including a fullscreen glitch.
