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, momentum-driven platformer where you slide and charge through colorful 2D levels with a cute but challenging adventure.

What players say

Players compare it to classic 2D Sonic games but note its own sliding and tail mechanics. The game is short, around one hour for the story, with extra modes for replay. Reviews praise the soundtrack and art while some find the controls slightly floaty or janky.
