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 frantic dash through hostile alien landscapes, balancing precise platforming with physics-driven gunfights in a beautifully hand-painted world.

What players say

Players praise the hand-drawn art and electronic soundtrack but are divided on the floaty physics and hook controls, which some find frustrating and others satisfying. The campaign is short and relatively easy, though the back half ramps up difficulty and limited lives can feel punishing.
