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 pixel-art side-scroller where you flap and glide through levels, with lighthearted peril and exploration.

What players say

Players praise the colorful graphics, old-school charm, and collect-a-thon design across 32 levels, but many say the bird's floaty jumping and gliding never feel right, making control a frustrating chore. Reviewers split on recommending it due to these divisive mechanics.
