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 retro arcade platformer where precise jumps and quick shooting are key to surviving a dark monster invasion.

What players say

Players describe a decent but familiar platformer with a steep difficulty and no checkpoints, forcing full-chapter runs. The level design and variety of modes, like upside-down stages or moon gravity, keep it from being a bare retread, though some find the price high for the pixel art presented.
