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 chaotic, fast-paced platformer where you blast through randomly generated cave levels with jetpacks and explosions, balancing permadeath with persistent upgrades.

What players say
Players compare it to Caveblazers but note the focus on resource gathering and permanent upgrades rather than pure roguelike difficulty. The game splits players: some find it a relaxing mining loop with a jetpack, others call it too grindy and repetitive with awkward controls. Linux support has been broken for some users.
