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 fast and punishing 2D platformer with vibrant visuals, intense boss fights, and a driving drum-and-bass soundtrack.

What players say

Players call this an absurdly difficult retro platformer where any death sends you back to the start of the world, and many never beat the second boss. The handmade art and chiptune soundtrack win praise, but the lack of a native gamepad option and brutal checkpoint placement frustrate, even as some appreciate that killed enemies stay dead on retry.
