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 frantic, arcade-style side-scrolling shooter where you blast through procedurally generated levels in a gaudy galactic TV tournament.

What players say

Players enjoy Trouble Juice as a fast, snappy roguelike where you can't fall off the screen but instead warp to the opposite side, a gimmick that feels fresh at first. They consistently call it short and light on content, with runs around 10 minutes and full achievement completion in under 6 hours, praising the gameplay but noting the same three bosses and low replayability once unlocked.
