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 cute and colorful retro platformer with lighthearted action and challenging puzzles.

What players say

Players praise the colorful graphics, music, and creative level design, but consistently call the difficulty brutal to the point of frustration. The jumping is stiff, and some quality-of-life issues make it hard to recommend for casual players, though achievement hunters enjoy the challenge.
