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 bouncy, high-energy platformer where you chain tricks and combos through vibrant, cartoonish stages.

What players say

Players praise the movement and style, comparing it favorably to classic platformers, but split on controls and polish, many report PC crashes and collision bugs, while others love the mastery curve and fixed camera.
