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 cheerful, family-friendly platformer with playful boomerang action and light exploration through colorful Australian outback levels.

What players say

Players who grew up with the original 3D Ty games are overwhelmingly disappointed by this 2D sidescroller, calling it a bootleg or browser game. The controls feel floaty, levels are repetitive with few enemy types, and backtracking without a map frustrates. A minority enjoy it as a budget platformer, especially on Steam Deck.
