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 tense and demanding precision platformer where every mistake compounds into a growing death count, pushing you to shave seconds off your runs.

What players say

Players find it a decent budget platformer for a dollar, with 50 short levels and a fair challenge that cost one reviewer 43 lives. The developer fixed invisible death walls after launch, and fans enjoy replaying to beat times via fractal-designed routes and powerups, though menues have controller issues.
