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 straightforward jump-and-avoid platformer where you hop on enemies and grab treasure to finish each level.

What players say

Players report Pirate Guy is a very short, simple platformer with 9 levels, but many call it an asset flip and point to missing checkpoints and a lack of polish. There are 3 boss fights that reuse the same enemy, and only one life by default.
