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, shape-shifting side-scroller that switches between platforming and free-range shooting, with a student project's rough charm.

What players say

Players describe a short 2D action game where you switch between a platformer and a top-down shooter form. Reviews are split on polish: some call it a decent student project with a clever gimmick, others find it poorly made and buggy. The three difficulty levels are appreciated, but hard mode feels unfair due to randomness.
