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.

Smooth, fast-paced precision jumping with a cartoon aesthetic and a bouncy soundtrack that keeps you trying again quickly.

What players say

Players love the completely original sine-wave movement, but warn it has a steep learning curve. Once it clicks, the game becomes deeply satisfying and addictive, with quick restarts and a flow-state feel. It has 80 levels, multiple routes for speedrunners, and players compare it favorably to 90s platformers and Kuru Kuru Kururin.
