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 frantic, one-button platformer where every jump and dodge demands lightning reflexes and quick wits against a backdrop of gorgeous, mythological art.

What players say

Players praise the hand-drawn art and music, but call the difficulty uneven, you might breeze through late levels yet get stuck early. The one-button control is simple but demands precise timing, and many compare it to Super Meat Boy for its fast, punishing platforming.
