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 light-hearted but progressively harder 2D platformer with pixel art, where you jump and dodge through desert temple levels.

What players say

Players describe a short and sweet platformer that is fair rather than punishing, with a cute art style and music. The game takes about 16–20 minutes to beat, and multiple reviewers wish for a level editor or sequel.
