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 classic platformer with a heartfelt rescue premise, demanding careful movement through magical worlds while solving key-collection puzzles.

What players say

Players are split on this short 20-level platformer: many enjoy the charming story about a girl searching for her dog and the physics-based floaty controls inspired by space gravity, but some find the same controls sluggish and frustrating. The game uses colored power orbs that replace your jump with different abilities, and collecting all keys is needed for the final level.
