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 and demanding retro action platformer where you dash and slash through sci-fi levels with elemental powers.

What players say

Players compare it to Mega Man Zero but find it rough around the edges. Combat and movement rely heavily on dashing, which some find repetitive and others enjoy. Boss fights and level design draw criticism for being clunky or unfair, and the need to replay stages for the real ending divides opinion. The soundtrack by Tee Lopes is consistently praised.
