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 gentle, bouncy platformer where young players hop around collecting snacks and pause to learn fun animal facts along the way.

About

Zoboomafoo will have to collect at least twenty-five of the fifty snacks in each level before he can move on to the next, but with the help of his friends and his own jumping, leaping, and climbing abilities, he's ready for the challenge. Aside from the interactive action this game offers, it also focuses on helping players learn about the animals they encounter. When you meet a new animal, the game will give you "Animal Fun Facts" that tell you something about the way that animal lives. So get ready to take on the role of Zoboomafoo, where you'll scamper, scurry, and more importantly, learn!
