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, punishing 2D action roguelike where you fight through a procedurally generated tower that changes daily, aiming for the top through intense bullet-hell combat.

What players say

Players enjoy the daily shifting tower for fresh runs, but the lack of a basic attack and long cooldown between specials makes it a dodge-heavy platformer rather than an action game. Reviews note it feels like a competent indie effort that stays small in scope, with leaderboards adding replay value and difficulty adjustable by playstyle.
