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, bouncy cat game with simple level objectives and a relaxed, replayable pace.

What players say

Players adore the physics-based size morphing that changes how the cat bounces, rolls and controls. The core is a collect-a-thon combined with punishing time trials, and the quick restart button is used constantly to optimise routes. Opinions split on the hubworld, which some find too big and prefer a simple level select. Visuals are described as subpar but charming.
