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 modestly challenging 2D platformer with simple controls and hidden upgrades that rewards cautious exploration.

What players say

Players say this is an improvement over the first game, mainly because weapon energy no longer competes with upgrades. It is a short Megaman-style platformer with multiple playable characters. A few note the sprites look blurry at 1080p, and many wish the third game would come to PC.
