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 fast, bouncy scramble upward as the player races against rising lava with simple controls, addicting loops, and a cheeky co-op mode that feels both tense and silly.

What players say

Players praise this arcade climber for fluid controls and roguelike powerups, saying it is addicting for short sessions but best picked up on sale. A few split on difficulty: some find it challenging in a good way, others say it is more punishing than it looks. There are reports of the cloud save not working.
