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 minimalist black-and-white pixel platformer where you desperately defend a portal against an endless, escalating monster horde with simple jump-and-shoot mechanics.

What players say

Players call it a simple, challenging arcade game that is addictive despite causing some rage. They like the pixel art and find it good value, though one reviewer notes bugs that stop the tutorial from working.
