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-paced, precision platformer with a retro arcade feel and shifting gameplay styles between platforming, puzzles, and shooting.

What players say

Players praise Super Mega Zero as a tight precision platformer with creative number-based mechanics and a great chiptune soundtrack. The main game is considered moderate difficulty, but the bonus levels spike sharply to match Super Meat Boy's hardest stages. Opinions split on the shmup interludes: some enjoy them as a fun break, others find them boring and weaker than the platforming.
