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-paced, minimalist arcade runner with retro synthwave aesthetics and physics-based gravity mechanics.

What players say

Players describe The Neon Mate as an addictive arcade runner where you roll through procedural planets against a countdown timer, balancing movement and jumps to extend your run. The synthwave visuals and music are a consistent draw, and many enjoy the challenge of beating their own scores and climbing the leaderboards, though some find the repetition stressful.
