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 playful, high-energy speedrunning game where you learn smooth movement through colorful, cartoon worlds, starting easy but pushing you to zoom faster and master each level.

What players say

Players praise the satisfying source-style movement and surfing, with many comparing it to Counter-Strike surf. They get addicted to speedrunning levels for platinum medals, though some find those challenges frustrating. The community wants a replay system and ghost racing, and notes the game is not well optimized.
