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 punishing 3D platformer where you guide a rice cake through unfair obstacles, mixing casual aesthetics with absurdly high difficulty.

What players say

Players describe Mochijump as a punishing physics-based platformer with a cute mochi protagonist. The movement requires constant counter-steering, and the game is full of unfair traps, especially from stage 2 onward. Fast retries and hidden routes reduce frustration, but the difficulty is divisive: some call it well-balanced, others simply unfair.
