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

Smashing yourself into traps for self-inflicted slapstick payback gives this platformer a playful, dark-comedy charm.

About

No Pain, No Gain! Vince was just a voodoo doll in a French Quarter shop, but when his maker was kidnapped, he became a vengeful doll on a mission! Using voodoo powers, Vince must kick his own butt to beat his enemies! If he stand under a falling safe, bad guys get flattened! Stick a pitch fork in him, and his enemies are done!
