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 that feels like a cooperative arcade romp through a cute but tricky demon castle.

What players say

Players praise Micro Mages as a modern NES game that fits into an actual cartridge. Controls are responsive and the skill ceiling is climbable. Some note it is less fun alone and best with friends. A few report that additional controllers do not work in local co-op.
