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 taut, rhythmic one-button arcade game where every tap is a calculated risk against a relentlessly rising floor.

What players say

Players call it a satisfying but punishing arcade score chaser. Many love the challenge mode and procedural music, though some find the controls chaotic with unpredictable inertia and massive hitboxes. Reviews split on whether the lack of control is fun or frustrating.
