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 and determined platformer where you leap over rival wizards with raw physical prowess, driven by an underdog's grit and never-say-die attitude.

What players say

Players describe a punishing 2D platformer with laggy controls and random boss patterns that frustrate as often as they addict. A few reviewers note its similarity to the I Wanna series, and some praise the difficulty for forcing personal growth.
