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 vertical precision platformer with retro pre-rendered graphics and a cute, atmospheric feel.

What players say

Players love Beeny's charm and its Donkey Kong Country-inspired visuals and music, but almost everyone notes it is extremely short, often finished in under 30 minutes. A few call the gameplay basic, comparing it to Doodle Jump, and one review says it pales next to DKC.
