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 cheesy, high-energy 90s-era platformer where you tear through colorful levels as a skateboarding, fire-breathing dinosaur with flashy moves and over-the-top attacks.

What players say

Players call this a faithful port of a 90s platformer, but opinion is split: some love the nostalgia while others warn about slippery controls and a difficulty spike in the second half.
