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 frantic yet charming 2D platformer where you race against the clock as a determined duckling mother, navigating spike-filled levels with precise wall jumps and power-ups.

What players say

Players call it a fun but challenging precision platformer where you collect duck eggs under a time limit. The controls take some getting used to, and gameplay can feel frustrating, but the level design and hidden secrets keep it rewarding. Some players note keys and settings menus need polish, and Steam Deck has a crash bug.
