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 fast-paced side-scrolling brawler with RPG elements and over-the-top combat sequences.

What players say

Players agree this is a short, shallow brawler with only three levels, two characters, and no bosses. The same enemy types repeat endlessly, and many call it an asset flip with locked controls and resolution. A few enjoy the music and retro feel, but most say it is not worth the price and feels like a demo.
