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 fast-paced and demanding platformer where you simultaneously control a boy and a giant robot arm to solve deadly puzzles.

What players say

Players control both a platformer character and a three-segment robot arm, which takes time to master but becomes satisfying. The game is punishingly difficult, with many comparing it to Super Meat Boy. Players split on level design, with some praising its challenge and others criticizing long levels with inconsistent difficulty and trial-and-error deaths.
