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 frantic, challenging retro-style platformer with quick movement and precise jumps through minimalist pixel environments.

What players say

Players warn this has nothing to do with VVVVVV, calling it a generic retro platformer with a misleading title. A few find it a decent if difficult pixel platformer with a nice soundtrack, but most agree the controls feel off and there is no controller support.
