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 simple, humorous 2D platformer where you casually bash cartoon enemies and collect coins to rescue a kidnapped caveman grandpa.

What players say

A compact retro platformer with 50 short levels across 5 worlds, taking about two hours to beat. Players split on quality, some call it a worthy diversion while others see recycled level design and spammy enemy combinations. The unlimited projectiles unlock, earned by saving coins, makes the late game much easier.
