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-paced, addictive clicker where you mindlessly surf channels while combining items to defeat a surreal TV antagonist.

What players say

Players say TV Kid blends a clicker with a roguelike, leaning heavily on luck for item synergies. Many find the difficulty spike to the final boss too high and the game thin on content for its price, though fans of the creator appreciate the regular updates and unique aesthetic.
