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 cute but tough retro platformer with funny dialogue and fast-paced action against fast-food themed foes.

What players say

Players describe it as a simple, short platformer with 50 levels and star collectibles. The dialogue is silly and the difficulty can spike enough to make some rage quit, while others call it friendly for all.
