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 brutally difficult, minimalist arcade game where a single button controls a slice of cake with natural physics through relentless bullet-hell patterns.

What players say

Players describe Cakefoot as a brutally hard one-button reflex game built around timing your movement along a line. Many find it addicting despite -- or because of -- its difficulty, with short segments that encourage repeated retries. Opinions on its simplicity are split: some enjoy the minimalist challenge while others find it too shallow.
