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 frantic sidescrolling platformer where you play an agile ninja monkey swarmed by bees, making quick upgrade decisions between intense survival rounds.

What players say

Players praise the mix of platforming with bullet hell combat and the huge build diversity across classes, weapons, and upgrades. Some find boss damage frustrating with near-instant kills, and long-time players note the game stopped receiving updates.
