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, frantic arcade runner where you reflexively bounce a blade off enemies and obstacles to build combos, with punishing permadeath and cute pixel visuals.

What players say

Players praise Dizzy Rogues as a short, pick-up-and-play arcade roguelike with a catchy soundtrack and satisfying combo system. Many note a sharp difficulty spike in world 4 after easier early areas, and some find the clanking mechanic frustrating. Reviews split on balance, with a few characters and weapons feeling weak.
