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 charmingly tough pixel-art platformer where you guide an adorable mole through a spooky mine with tight controls and a retro chiptune soundtrack.

What players say

Players praise the retro aesthetics and tight controls, but are split on the bosses: some find them boring and padded, others say they are rewarding once mastered. The game is short, taking a few hours to finish, and includes a unique double-jump that requires two buttons.
