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, fast-paced acrobatic platformer that feels like a playful retro adventure with secrets to discover and tough bosses to conquer.

What players say

Players praise the agile movement, vibrant pixel art and soundtrack, and plentiful secrets. However, many complain about the camera staying too close to the character, making offscreen hazards annoying. The final boss is considered too easy.
