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

You control a bald man on a pogo stick in a precise, physics-heavy climb where every mistake resets your progress back to the bottom, demanding stubborn patience.

What players say

Players compare it to Getting Over It or Only Up, calling it a foddian precision platformer controlled entirely with the mouse. They say it is brutally hard, with tiny margin for error, and falls can send you back to the start. Some love that fair challenge, others find the controls too unforgiving. Multiplayer has a rope mechanic that can pull or sabotage friends.
