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 very basic Action 52 platformer where you shoot enemies and collect keys on floating platforms.

About

Ooze is the 4th game of Action 52 (Genesis). It is also a major improvement over the NES version of the game. You have to fight enemies with a gun you have, and need to stay on the floating moveable platforms and try to get keys, and if you do it right, you go to next level. Also if you land on something very low of where you were, you die.
