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 chaotic, fast-paced arcade platformer where you recklessly rampage through a papercraft underwater world at high speed.

What players say

Players praise the papercraft art style and quirky humor, but the controls and camera frustrate many. The game is short and split between fun time trials and annoying collection levels, with some comparing it to Ecco the Dolphin.
