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 frantic and challenging side-scrolling platformer with classic arcade-style gameplay.

What players say

Players like the four-element spell system and say the movement feels floaty but smooth. The game is praised as good for its low price, though some note levels repeat late and the upgrade system becomes pointless. Platforming is described as punishing, and the lack of camera scrolling makes traps frustrating.
