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.

What players say

Players praise the deep movement mechanics and freely available player-made maps, calling it a top-tier free platformer. They emphasize a welcoming community that teaches newcomers, but also warn of griefers on some servers who block paths or troll intentionally.
