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 tight, fast-paced puzzle-platformer where you bounce off enemies and hurl them at each other through increasingly fiendish levels, all set to an acoustic soundtrack.

What players say

Players praise the grab-and-throw mechanic that builds on Super Mario Bros. 2 across nearly 200 levels. The game balances a chill acoustic soundtrack and cute visuals with a difficulty curve that is tough but fair, though a handful report the game crashes on launch and some find the wall-jumping finicky.
