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 breezy, whimsical dash through colorfully stylized levels where timing and physics matter more than precision.

What players say

Players call this a charming, short Monkey Ball clone with a distinctive charge-and-boost mechanic. Opinions split on the charge mechanic: some say it adds fun speedrun tech and freedom, others find it necessary to a frustrating degree. The game takes a couple hours to 100% and costs $3.
