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 quick, retro-styled runner with jump-and-shoot action and a rock soundtrack, evoking the feel of classic 90s arcade games.

What players say

Players call it a short, simple mobile port with great music and nice pixel art, but also repetitive gameplay and cheap-feeling controls. Reviews are split: some enjoy its old-school challenge and fun bosses, while others find it boring after an hour and note there is no exit button.
