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.

A breezy, jump-and-collect platformer where you guide a cheerful hero past simple traps to snag gems and maps.

What players say

Players describe Diamond Dan as a simple yet addictive puzzle-platformer where you descend procedurally generated towers of shifting blocks. They appreciate the challenge from the achievements and the distinct abilities of the two characters, but some find the gameplay repetitive and note it lacks controller support.
