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 cute but demanding precision platformer that tests your patience and skill with punishing jumps and small mistakes.

What players say

Players praise the cute pixel art and catchy music, but call it a rage platformer that is unforgiving when you misjudge a jump. Many compare it to Jump King, and a few note overly fast horizontal movement and slippery platforms make precise control frustrating.
