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 cooperative puzzle-platformer where two wobbly jelly creatures trade sizes and abilities, mixing teamwork with silly betrayals in bright, cartoonish worlds.

What players say

Players praise the chaotic co-op puzzle design and recommend playing with a partner, solo mode is far harder. Many report severe lag and connection problems in online multiplayer, especially in Chinese reviews.
