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 bright, playful homage to Game Boy Color-era platformers with bouncy movement, quirky characters, and lighthearted combat.

What players say

Players say Super Squidlit improves on the original with more variety, longer length, and a wall-bounce dash, but the first-person shooter sections are widely criticized as poorly controlled and frustrating, especially on keyboard. The writing stays cute and the retro Game Boy Color aesthetic charms most, though some miss the simpler focus of the first game.
