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

fast-paced arcade action with cute pixel visuals where narrow trap-filled paths explode behind you as you try to reach the top

What players say

Players describe a deceptively cute arcade game that is genuinely difficult, with instant respawns keeping the frustration low. Some note the main campaign can be finished in under an hour, and reviewers split on whether the randomized spiraling levels feel fair or unfair.
