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 climb construction sites in short, score-chasing arcade stages, tossing bombs at enemies while collecting food bonuses to increase your lives.

What players say

Players praise the tight arcade gameplay and fair difficulty progression, though some find mid-air control imprecise for hitting moving spikes. The game lacks continues and has hidden items in stages.
