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 fast, colorful platformer with a cartoonish anime style and retro feel, focused on jumping, collecting, and simple combat.

What players say

Players adore the cute presentation and music, but warn the game is far harder than it looks. Many cite a deliberate control delay and an absent drop shadow that make precision platforming frustrating. The huge amount of levels and tight time trials keep players coming back.
