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 tense, fast-paced platformer that blends retro style with modern challenge, demanding precise dexterity and quick reflexes as you navigate deadly machinery.

What players say

Players praise the tight platforming controls and the double jump that recharges on any surface touch, calling it intuitive and fast-paced. The game is short with 66 levels and a fair difficulty curve, though some wish for optional harder challenges and dislike the unpredictable chaser blades.
