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 tricky but charming precision platformer where you guide a cute ball through stages with intentionally awkward physics, set to a groovy hip-hop and lo-fi beat.

What players say

Players praise the funny narration and charming story, with many noting it is moderately challenging and rewarding, similar to Getting Over It or Jump King. Some find the plot cliché but still enjoyable, and a few mention missing sound effects for jumps.
