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

It feels like a playful, hands-on toy box where you design and test tricky platforming challenges with a lighthearted, robotic training theme.

What players say

Players love the campaign and the level editor, calling it a capable Mario Maker alternative for PC. However, many note the community is small and the game never got its planned features, with some calling it a dead game and a few criticizing the editor for being too basic or restrictive compared to rivals.
