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 tough 2D action-platformer with lots of shooting and puzzle solving set in a hostile alien world.

What players say

Players split on Robotex: some call it an addictive challenge with responsive controls, while others slam its unresponsive controls, lack of music and tutorials, and poor graphics that make obstacles hard to see.
