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 deceptively chill-looking blob platformer that demands relentless focus and precise momentum control through its tough, physics-based challenges.

What players say

Players praise the bouncing physics and cute art style but warn about the lack of any checkpoints, forcing restarts from the very beginning on death. The difficulty splits opinion: some call it fun and delightful, others find the blob's inertia frustrating and the game harder than typical N64-style platformers.
