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 lighthearted yet challenging puzzle-platformer where you carefully time jumps across obstacles to reach the goal.

What players say

Players praise the simple spacebar mechanic and find the game fun and challenging, especially with kids. Some report a softlock on level 13, while others call the controls clunky.
