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 rapid-fire arcade platformer where each run shuffles micro-levels and a reactive chiptune score pushes you through tight, minimalist gauntlets with a playful, slightly absurd edge.

What players say

A brutally difficult one-life platformer where a single mistake sends you back to the start, but players find it addictive and fun despite the frustration. The 100 levels appear in random order from level 2 onward, keeping skilled players on their toes. Some liken it to Super Hexagon for its steep learning curve that eventually clicks.
