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 and funny arcade-style sky-diving romp through dangerous alien worlds, with a lighthearted daredevil tone.

What players say

Players describe Planet Diver as a fast-paced bottom-scroller demanding quick reflexes. Many compare it to Downwell, though some find it less engaging. The game offers plenty of charm and replayability, but critics note it feels like a mobile port and can be frustrating due to its speed.
