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, beat-driven precision platformer that feels like a trippy, rhythmic dance of obstacle-dodging and level creation.

What players say

Players call Rerunner a solid remake of the original that adds checkpoints and a level editor, though some say its difficulty spikes and tight retro challenges can frustrate. Reviews split on length: some find it too short versus Runner2, others praise the replay value from community levels. A few report graphical lag that hurts precision jumping.
