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.

What players say

Players say this Christmas platformer offers a good challenge with multiple difficulty modes, including one for young children. It contains 250 levels, though the character controls feel a bit floaty. Players consistently praise the value and charm, noting the game is harder than most holiday titles.
