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 cynically charming, cartoonish run-and-gun platformer with escalating difficulty and a B-movie sense of humor.

What players say

Players describe a simple, low-budget platformer with a cartoonish sense of humor. The controls are a common frustration, especially the floaty, unresponsive jumping and occasional input issues. Difficulty is high, with unforgiving checkpoints and nearly impossible achievements, though some find it playable and fun for its low price.
