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 bouncy, high-energy runner where you leap and stunt through colorful levels as a determined cucumber, with a playful sense of humor and a light challenge.

What players say

Players enjoy the fast-paced, music-driven running and jumping, praising the large number of skins and the lively soundtrack. The game is level-based rather than endless, and while controls include acceleration and deceleration, some find them awkward. Reviews note the challenge spikes, especially around portal sections, and several compare it to Repit.
