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 1v1 duel where you test your aim and reflexes against a friend in old-school pixel arenas.

What players say

Players say it is a simple local multiplayer platformer with surprisingly deep mechanics like dashing through arrows to steal them, but the lack of a tutorial hurts. Many call it an asset flip, and most agree it is very short, with no online mode.
