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 tight, high-skill precision platformer with fluid wallrunning and double jumps that demands fast reflexes and steady aim.

What players say

Players praise the responsive controls and fast-paced level design, though many find the variety lacking after the first few worlds and the music repetitive. The hookshot sections are widely disliked as frustrating. Speedrunning for medals is where the game shines, but it becomes stale if played casually.
