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, difficult puzzle-platformer where you control a sentient pixel fighting through corrupted digital worlds with tense action and precise movement.

What players say

Players praise the unique color-matching platforming and gravity tricks, calling it addictive and rewarding. But development stalled in early access with under two dozen levels, and some find the controls too twitchy.
