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 bright, bouncy 3D platformer where you freely leap and slide through playful obstacle courses at your own speed, chasing stars without the fear of death.

What players say

Players find mikapyon a tough but charming collectathon platformer where the cute bunny girl and colorful visuals hide a steep difficulty. The key mechanic is that running faster makes you jump higher, which combined with slippery movement makes precise platforming tricky. Some players struggle with wall stickiness and imprecise controls, but most enjoy the challenge.
