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 clever and punishing platformer that channels retro arcade difficulty while modernising its pace and feel.

What players say

Players describe Star Impact as a one-button runner that becomes more complex when a dash ability unlocks after the first playthrough. It is often compared to classic platformers like Donkey Kong and Mega Man, with an addictive difficulty curve and a soundtrack that keeps people coming back.
