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 straightforward, cheerful 2D romp where you guide a dog through bright levels with simple platforming goals.

What players say

Players enjoy a silly 2D platformer starring a dog, with three characters that handle differently: Max is standard, Cheddar is slow but jumps high, Brian has a large hitbox and a three-life system that players find overtuned. The game is free, has no achievements and no Chinese localization, and its brief length invites speedrunning.
