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 cute, fast-paced precision platformer where you dash into enemies for blood as you ascend procedurally generated rooms.

What players say
Players describe a very short precision platformer that can be cleared in under an hour, built around a dash attack that hooks into enemies for health. The controls feel floaty at first but are responsive once learned. Some note broken achievements and a $4 price that feels steep for the length.
