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 nostalgic 8-bit action platformer that is fast and fun with simple controls and a surprising challenge.

What players say

Players call it a very short Mega Man clone that can be beaten in about 30 minutes. Levels are easy but boss fights are brutally hard, with some bosses using random attack patterns. Three characters play similarly but have minor unique moves. The game has minimal invincibility frames, making damage feel unfair.
