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

It feels like a bouncy, lighthearted collect-a-thon with speedy movement and cheerful obstacle courses.

What players say

Players are split on Mail Mole. The core idea of a burrowing mole platformer is praised, but many find the controls awkward, especially the jump which conflicts with the dash and offers no fine-tuning. The underground perspective makes judging your hitbox and position difficult. Some call it a charming, fun short game, while others find it mediocre with generic level design and a weak soundtrack.
