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 action platformer where you chart your own route through a procedurally drawn map, balancing risk and reward with each room you choose to tackle.

What players say

Players praise the unique map-drawing mechanic and short, addictive runs, but are split on the combat: some find it clunky and tedious with damage-sponge enemies, while others enjoy it once mastered. The pixel art and $4 price point are consistently highlighted as strong points.
