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 tense, skill-based arcade platformer where you must charge attacks while stationary, then move to strike, creating a rhythmic dance of risk and reward.

What players say

Players praise the tight controls and the risk-reward mechanic of standing still to charge attacks. The game takes inspiration from Super Crate Box but adds its own twists, and many recommend it for co-op.
