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-paced, repeatable platforming romp with escalating combat and cascading power-ups, favoring frantic gameplay over story.

What players say

Players love the low price and the chaotic fun, with praise for the car power-up that lets them run over enemies. However, deep runs become nearly impossible due to frequent invincible enemies with a white aura, and some wish the developer would add more variety through updates.
