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

Fast-paced 2D platforming with pixel-art visuals and constant shooting against alien enemies.

What players say

Players describe it as a short 2D platformer blending Mega Man and Metroid elements, with nice pixel art but only one unlockable ability and simple, repetitive puzzles. Opinions split on difficulty: some find boss fights fun and balanced, others call them tedious or uneven.
