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 hand-drawn 2D action platformer where you run, jump, and slash through themed worlds, with occasional vehicle sections.

What players say

Players compare it to Rayman, calling it a short and easy platformer with floaty controls and a 30 fps cap. The stages vary, but glitches, sloppy controls, and reskin characters are common complaints. Some find it charming for beginners, while others call it unpolished and derivative.
