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 frenetic, gravity-defying platformer where you bounce and flip through colorful retro levels without a jump button, constantly hunting for hidden collectibles.

What players say

Players praise the unique movement system, which has no jump button and rewards practice, but some find the physics inconsistent and the difficulty spikes frustrating, especially in later areas. Comparisons to Banjo-Kazooie and Mario Sunshine are common, and the humor draws mixed reactions for being over-the-top or misses the mark.
