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 gentle, floaty platformer where you bounce on quirky balloons and solve light puzzles across colourful pixel-art worlds.

What players say

Players jump on balloons across four worlds, collecting three coins per level, but many find the gameplay repetitive and the difficulty frustrating, leading to boredom after a few stages. There are no achievements and performance issues on modern systems are reported.
