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.

What players say

Players appreciate finally having an affordable version of this rare GBA action platformer, but they split on the quality of this remaster. Praise goes to the core grappling hook gameplay that still holds up, while many criticize the newly remastered soundtrack for harsh treble, the lack of meaningful improvements beyond basic porting, and bugs that break hostage-saving achievements.
