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 tense, delicate flight through narrow passages where every button press fights inertia and a single mistake restarts the run.

What players say

Players call it a well-balanced precision platformer where inertia and jump timing take serious practice, but very little feels unfair. The cute bee art and simple stages make it easy to pick up, though clearing it demands patience. Fans compare the challenge to other hard platformers and say it shines when played with someone watching.
