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.

What players say

Players say Tomb Towers is a short, old-school puzzle-platformer that nails the NES aesthetic and feel. The game is fairly forgiving, lives and deaths rarely cause frustration, but some puzzles rely on tight timing and precision. A few reviewers note the jump arc is shaped like a triangle, and the option to change game speed from the pause menu helps with certain sections.
