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

It feels like a high-speed arcade platformer with multiple playstyles, cheesy story beats, and a split-screen competitive mode that leans on racing and collecting chaos emeralds.

What players say

Players love the game itself but warn the 2012 PC port has serious issues, especially an 8-direction movement bug on controller that requires mods to fix. Many recommend using community patches for a better experience.
