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 colorful, frantic platformer where you dodge projectiles and make tricky jumps while chatting with old pals.

What players say

Players praise the music and hand-drawn art, but split on the controls. Some find the platforming tight and satisfying, while others say the character slides off ledges, making precise jumps frustrating and rage-inducing.
