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 tense, rhythmic puzzle-platformer where the developer's voice guides you through meticulous, death-heavy challenges that slowly reveal a deeper story.

What players say

Players call it a hardcore rhythm-platformer with a great soundtrack and minimalist visuals. Many say the difficulty feels less fair than other tough platformers, with traps that loop while you respawn and occasional input lag. Some compare it favorably to Geometry Dash, while others say their time is better spent on Super Meat Boy.
