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 bouncy, nostalgic platformer that cheerfully laughs at its own difficulty, blending pixel-art eras with a light, self-aware tone.

What players say

Players describe BiT Evolution as a platformer that starts charming but becomes repetitive quickly. The hook is evolving through graphical eras, but many find the gameplay bland. A shadow mirror world upon death is a unique mechanic, yet the third boss is widely reported to have a game-breaking bug that has remained unfixed for years.
