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 fast-paced pixel-art platformer where you level weapons while fighting through monster-filled biomes and bosses.

What players say

Players say Cally's Trials is a mobile port of Cally's Caves 2 that feels like a downgrade from the third game. The combat is simple and enemies are bullet sponges, but upgrading weapons is satisfying. Reviews split on replay value: some find it quick and fun, others call it repetitive and grindy.
