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 brief, lighthearted platforming stroll through gloomy caves with pastel plants, where you help a cute fox reach tea time by tossing breadstick bridges.

What players say

Players describe Breadsticks as a very short, free student-made platformer with a cute fox protagonist. The core mechanic of creating platforms by throwing breadsticks is well-liked, but players are split on the controls: some find wall jumps slippery and the movement aggravating, while others appreciate the challenge for speedrunning.
