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 colorful, fast-paced retro platformer with cheeky humor and satisfying enemy-throwing combat.

What players say

Players compare it to Super Mario Bros 2, praising the onion-throwing mechanic and fair difficulty, but note too few checkpoints and two characters that play identically. Some find the controls weird and the art basic, while others love the polished retro feel.
