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 fast-paced retro action game with martial arts combat and an arcade feel, reminiscent of classic handheld adventures.

What players say

Players praise this as a faithful run-and-gun homage to 8- and 16-bit platformers, with tight controls and challenge that rewards learning boss patterns. The game is short, about six stages, and collects hidden gems per level, but its difficulty is high but not unfair.
