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 blisteringly fast, acrobatic platformer with a neon-drenched 80s synthwave aesthetic that demands precise control and quick reflexes.

What players say
Players praise the fluid grappling hook movement and speedrun-friendly level design, comparing it to Celeste and Super Meat Boy. The difficulty ramps up quickly but stays fair, with optional harder challenges. A few mention a persistent graphical bug on Linux that the developer has not fixed.
