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 fast-paced side-scroller where you dash upward, chaining combos and upgrades while blasting colorful orb bots through atmospheric skies.

What players say

Players praise the fast, satisfying combat loop and the charming pixel art, especially the cute sky-whale. Many call it underrated and addictive for short sessions. However, some report a permanently bugged achievement and crashes, and the developer has not addressed these issues in months.
