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 quick, retro-style arcade runner where you dodge obstacles using a slowing parasol, chasing a high score in procedurally generated alleys.

What players say

Players enjoy it as a simple score chaser with an umbrella mechanic that slows descent but runs out of charge. Some note the 100k achievement relies on luck, and achievements may not pop until posting to the leaderboard. A few find the rainbow effect when destroying obstacles painful on the eyes.
