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 carefully maneuver a magnetic robot through deadly platforms, relying on precise timing and physics to survive each screen.

What players say

Players praise its creative magnetic hook but split on whether the controls ever click. Many find it a tough precision platformer, with swearing by its challenge and others frustrated by unreliable aiming and a bloated final boss. Repetition sets in late-game and there are sharp difficulty spikes.
