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 precision platformer that feels like a tense, reflex-driven puzzle where every move requires careful timing and gravity manipulation.

What players say

Players praise the gravity-flip mechanic and the massive campaign of over 100 levels, but warn that the difficulty ramps up quickly and becomes sadistic in later worlds. It is compared favorably to Super Meat Boy and G Switch, with reviewers split on whether the simple visuals are a weakness or a fitting choice.
