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 nimble little robot hops through linear sci-fi levels, zapping enemies and swapping weapons in a brisk, straightforward fight for survival.

What players say

Players call it a short, easy action platformer with a fair amount of content for its low price. Reception is split on launch polish: some note a missing cursor during bullet-hell segments and oversized rock hitboxes, but the developer often patches quickly.
