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 bright and bouncy 2.5D platformer that feels like a playful, challenging romp through cheerful cartoon worlds.

What players say
Players praise its responsive controls and clever level design, especially the alternate versions that change up stages. The final level is a tough but rewarding challenge. Some reviews mention the removal of a voice actor, which split opinion.
