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 frustratingly difficult 2D platformer where you guide a small robot through punishing environments, testing patience and precision alone or with friends.

What players say

Players describe it as a challenging foddian game similar to Getting Over It, with a double jump that is key to progress. The game lacks a tutorial and has no controller bindings, which some find frustrating, but the level design feels fair.
