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 tense and unforgiving precision platformer where each jump is deliberate and mastery comes slowly through repeated failure.

What players say

Players praise the auto-jump frog mechanic for forcing careful timing, but some find the difficulty punishing and the monochrome visuals off-putting. Opinions split on content: several call it short with only seven levels, while others appreciate the hidden coins and boss fights that add replayability.
