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 frustrating puzzle game where you carefully guide a square through increasingly tough levels, often dying repeatedly and wanting to throw your keyboard.

What players say

Players describe a short, difficult precision-platformer that lives up to its rage-game name. Many note the difficulty only limits lives, not level design, leading to tedious replays. Input lag and spike collision bugs are common complaints, while some enjoy the VVVVVV-like puzzles and low price.
