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 straightforward and charming 2D platformer with beautiful animated graphics and gradually increasing difficulty.

What players say

Players call this an asset flip built with a template engine, with broken achievements and unbeatable levels. The jumping is inconsistent, controls cannot be rebound, and no updates have come since release to fix the problems.
