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 pixel art precision platformer that pairs retro beat music with tense, punishing helicopter maneuvers

What players say

Players compare it to Space Taxi or Lunar Lander but say the helicopter is too fragile and the controls lack explanation. The early access was meant to last months but has stretched for years with minimal updates, leaving only three short levels and no achievements.
