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 fast and cute linear platformer with a whimsical, retro feel and precise movement-based puzzles.

What players say

Players praise the tight controls, good music, and instant level resets for a speedrunning experience. The game has no jump button, relying on dash and stomp, with a hard difficulty that demands quick dashes and bounces.
