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 platformer with pixel art where you switch between 2D side-scrolling and a 3D hub world, exploring islands and fighting enemies as a shark.

What players say

Players say it is a short but charming metroidvania from a solo developer, with a novel shark-transformation gimmick and a mix of 2D action and 3D overworld sections. Opinions split on the janky combat and wall jumping, while many note the two-hour length and low challenge, calling it a promising first effort.
