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, bullet-deflecting platformer where slow-motion dodges and absurd humour define every chaotic encounter.

What players say

Players call it an underrated Mojang gem with a unique combat system that lets you slow time and deflect bullets. It runs well on any computer, the level editor is easy to use, and it works great as a party game, though players wish it had more popularity.
