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 short, precise platforming challenge through 100 pixel-art levels, evoking old-school arcade tension.

What players say

Players praise its fast-paced precision platforming and varied level design, but many hit an infamous difficulty spike at level 28. Opinion splits on the controls: some call them tanky or bad, others find them tight. A few note a grating early soundtrack and limited display options.
