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 fast-paced retro platformer where you jump and shoot through colorful pixel levels as a heroic female protagonist, collecting upgrades and facing tough enemies.

What players say

This Mega Man clone divides players. Some praise its polished retro aesthetic, solid controls, and challenge modes, while others criticize floaty jump physics, a lack of checkpoints, and uninspired level design. The low price and regular updates through version 1.1 win over many fans.
