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 quick, precise test of reflexes with a cheerful retro aesthetic and a feel-good soundtrack.

What players say

Players praise the tight controls and 68 levels, noting the dash feels useless and normal mode's checkpoints make it forgiving while a pro mode removes them. Later levels introduce random obstacles and enemies, and the final level is described as brutally hard. The retro pixel art and soundtrack evoke classic platformers.
