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 cooperative platformer where you explore cave environments, use items to overcome traps and creatures, and solve simple mysteries with a light, cartoonish tone.

What players say

Players are split: some enjoy the deliberate platforming that is easier than Spelunker HD, others call it a phone port with clunky controls. The multiplayer is dead and many collectibles require co-op, while a game-freezing bug on one level and broken achievements frustrate.
