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

You control a pigeon that dashes through vibrant, dangerous levels, requiring tight timing and precision to overcome obstacles and rescue his father.

What players say

Players finish the main 60 stages in under an hour, with many calling it short and sweet. The game is easy for casual players but the optional challenge mode offers real difficulty. Controls are tight and responsive, though some report needing to launch the game twice for controller support, and there is no in-game pause.
