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 zippy, rhythmic puzzle-platformer where you swap dimensions and shoot your way through cleverly designed levels with a snappy, upbeat energy.

What players say

players praise the energetic soundtrack and tight platforming, but opinions split on difficulty. some find the block-switching puzzles clever and replayable, while others call them tedious and the early difficulty spike frustrating. a few note technical problems with the pc port, including uncapped framerate breaking gameplay above 60hz.
