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 are split on Doodler. Some enjoy its hand-drawn style and nostalgia for old Flash platformers, finding it charming and free. Others find the levels monotonous and repetitive, especially past the first twenty, with imprecise collision and janky movement that cause discomfort.
