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 physics-driven climb upward through tricky construction-site puzzles and vehicle sections, with a cheerful but focused feel.

What players say

Players are split on this physics-based puzzle platformer. Some appreciate its unique ideas and solo developer achievement, but many are frustrated by broken physics, clunky controls, and a camera that makes sections feel artificially hard. The game requires a page up/down key to operate an elevator, and falls often force long repeated climbs.
