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 precise, physics-driven puzzle racer where you carefully manipulate momentum to navigate tricky, colorful 2D courses.

What players say
Players describe Nimbus as a punishing physics-based glider game where you fight gravity and momentum rather than accelerate. It is very hard, but the optional checkpoints and multiple paths let you adjust the challenge. A long-standing bug makes time records based on real-world time rather than in-game time, frustrating score chasers. The developer has gone largely off the radar since release.
