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 cheerful but demanding physics playground where you fling a cute frog with a grappling tongue through colorful obstacle courses.

What players say

Players enjoy the platforming and co-op, but many report the final boss is unfairly hard with a repeated cutscene and glitchy mechanics. Some find the controls awkward at first but rewarding later. Split on difficulty: easygoing until the last fight.
