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 casual, pixel-art platformer where you guide a sentient geometric being through colorful, puzzle-like levels to recover lost pieces and seek revenge.

What players say

Players call this a minimalist version of Getting Over It with solid physics and a frustrating difficulty that some love. The biggest complaint is the lack of a map or zoom feature to see where you're going, and players recommend using a mouse over a trackpad. One long review dismissed it as a poorly made retro platformer, but most recommend it.
