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 one-button arcade challenge where every jump risks spawning hazards, demanding split-second timing to survive.

About

R Wheel is a fast-pased one-button game. Try to survive inside a spinning wheel with spikes. Press a button to jump and hold a button to stay in the air longer. But your jumps release a wave that spawns the spikes. Collect bonus items to release a wave that clears the spikes and score points by clearing them. The game is over when you hit the spikes.
