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 frantic and punishing sprint through underground pixel-art levels where every jump and roll demands split-second precision.

What players say

MineRalph is a physics-based platformer controlled entirely with the mouse, which players find unusual and tough to learn. The difficulty curve is steep but consistent, and while sections without checkpoints frustrate some, the moment-to-moment action feels fair. The game includes built-in timing and a $1,000 speedrun competition.
