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 fast and challenging 2D side-scroller where you dodge hazards and fight corrupted machines with precise controls and retro pixel aesthetics.

What players say

Players compare OmegaBot to Mega Man, praising its pogo gun mechanic that doubles as a platforming tool. Opinions are split on controls, with some finding them unresponsive or slippery while others enjoy the movement. The game is short, has limited configuration options like no resolution choices and only one save file, and its difficulty ramps up in the second half.
