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 precision platformer where you race against the clock in tight 13-second levels, demanding pixel-perfect jumps and dashes.

What players say

Players praise the ZX Spectrum art style and tight, responsive controls, saying the game is tough but fair with every death feeling like the player's fault. Many see it as a great speedrunning platformer with a funny story and charming presentation, though some find certain levels frustrating. It is short but worth its low price.
