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 short, methodical puzzle-platformer where you gently change day to night with each jump, collecting stars in handmade levels.

What players say

Players praise Moonleap as a short but inventive puzzle-platformer that constantly introduces new mechanics and rewards exploration with secrets and S-rank challenges. The pixel art is widely liked, though the controls and UI have some odd choices like using Enter instead of Esc to pause.
