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.

What players say

Players praise its tight controls, cheerful aesthetic, and music-driven level design, calling it a big improvement over the first game. However, many warn that chasing 100% perfection is monotonous, and some report the PC port has blurry visuals at higher frame rates.
