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 race against self-destructing pathways, where each run demands split-second reactions and offers only a brief window to push forward before the ground vanishes beneath you.

What players say

Players praise the originality of the procedurally generated platforms that appear as you run, but warn it is punishingly hard. Many love level 4's design, though several note frustrating physics glitches, especially on level 3. Some are confused that checkpoint mode doesn't save progress, and one player calls the ending surprising.
