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 breezy, arcade-style beach romp where you dodge bombs and slugs while frantically scooping up shiny shells for points.

About

Octopo exploring the sandy shores. Collect shells scattered across the beach to earn points. Along the way, they'll encounter special items that grant temporary boosts like speed, double coins, or invincibility. But watch out! The beach isn't just a serene playground; it's also home to pesky enemies like snails with shells (slugs) and the occasional bomb dropping from above, ready to explode. With each shell collected and enemy evaded, players strive to achieve the highest score possible, making "Octopo" a thrilling adventure of skill and strategy.
