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 deliberately annoying obstacle course where the challenge is uneven and bosses are defeated by jumping on their heads.

What players say

Players describe DummyDoodle as a barebones retro platformer with hand-drawn visuals and basic controls. Many note the game is free but lacks achievements and Chinese localization. Reviews are split: some find the boss fights challenging and finishable, while others criticize the confusing ending and the jump physics that depend on momentum.
