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 hyper-kinetic platforming rush where every input matters, demanding perfect timing and rewarding technical mastery with blistering speed.

What players say

Players praise the unique momentum-based movement inspired by Super Smash Bros. Melee, but many find the controls unintuitive and report hand cramps or pain from extended play. The game has a high skill ceiling and lots of content including custom levels, though some miss proper tutorials and note that controller choice matters.
