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 lighthearted cartoon-style puzzle platformer with maze-like levels and quirky princess characters to help, using grappling hooks and simple movement.

What players say

Players praise the unusual movement system of a rolling ball that shoots a line to swing and climb, but note the lack of jump can be disorienting. Reviews mention the game is short with limited content, while some find the final boss challenging. Disagreement exists on guidance: some say it is poor while others find the game rewarding after mastering it.
