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 challenging but cathartic pixel platformer that feels like a soothing replay of a famously tough level, blending cute characters with loot crafting and retro action.

What players say

Players call this a loving tribute to the notoriously hard dam level from the original TMNT NES game. It demands precision and timing similar to Super Meat Boy, but with multiple difficulty options players say keep it fair.
