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 tough retro platformer that demands tight precision and repeated attempts to survive increasingly hostile levels.

What players say

Players are split. Some call it shovelware with ugly pixel art and bare bones design, while others find it fun and worth the price. The music is widely criticized as boring and repetitive.
