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, retro-style platformer where you race against a biohazard squad to rescue cartoony beagles in colorful, procedurally generated levels.

What players say

Players describe Rescue: The Beagles as a challenging score-attack runner where you must grab every puppy before the scrolling screen catches up. The core mechanic of switching between three parallax layers is unique. It is an update of an early indie game, and supporters say it plays like a quick, addictive coffee break title that rewards fast reflexes.
