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 lighthearted physics-based platformer where you hop between planets, dodging meteors and aliens while solving puzzles with a gentle sense of humor and a steady, campaign-paced challenge.

What players say

Players praise the pixel art and creative puzzles but warn the physics-based platforming is brutally difficult, with some dying over 700 times in a playthrough. The game is short and runs on low-end hardware, though a missing cloud save feature forces restarts between machines.
