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

Hopping on mushrooms as a bouncy slime feels playful and carefree, like a simple, cheerful jaunt through the woods.

What players say

Players call this a very short free platformer, around 5 to 8 minutes. Most agree the presentation is cute, with a nice narrator and pixel art. However, controls are often described as slippery or sluggish, and performance with low FPS is a frequent complaint. Several point out it is a DigiPen student project.
