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-paced, challenging 2D platformer with procedurally generated levels and a focus on persistent upgrades through unique heirs.

What players say

Players praise the class variety and smooth controls over the original, but many find the meta-progression grindy and enemies spam too many projectiles. The game offers a lot of content, with traits and heirlooms that change each run, yet some feel the difficulty outpaces upgrades and late runs get repetitive.
