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, fast-paced run through minimalist pixel-art levels where every jump and dodge requires precise timing and instant respawns keep the pressure on.

What players say

Players praise this as the definitive package for the series, bundling all three games with remastered visuals and a checkpoint placement system that makes challenging precision platforming accessible. The music and pixel art are consistently highlighted, though some report a menu bug when remapping keys.
