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 2D platformer where you race to collect clocks before your fuse runs out and you explode.

About

A 2D platformer featuring a new character with a short fuse. In each level you must collect all the clocks before you run out of time and explode. Each clock collected gives you a little bit more fuse to complete the level but there's no time to relax before you'll be looking for the next. Add in some firey beasties, the ability to rotate the level and you've got the ultimate arcade experience.
