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 chaotic carnival side-scroller where you cast spells to survive a talent show brawl, with cute pixel art and quirky enemies.

What players say

Players praise the cute pixel art but find the game too easy and short, with little reason to replay. The main knock is that only projectile builds feel effective, while impact and status builds are weak. A few note the lack of a tutorial and frame drops when dodge reaches 100%. It is compared to Nova Drift and Brotato by multiple reviewers.
