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 race a tight 30-second timer down randomly generated floors, slashing through foes with precise, fast-paced arcade action in a pixelated retro tower.

What players say

Players praise the fast-paced ninja tower gauntlet for its satisfying challenge, but a long-time reviewer warns of unfair design due to badly aligned enemy hitboxes and items spawning out of bounds.
