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, rhythm-driven platformer that feels like an absurdly difficult obstacle course set to a pounding beat.

What players say

Players call it a fun but very short platformer, often finishing in around an hour. The soundtrack and tight controls are praised, while the sexual humor and explicit themes divide people. Many say it offers less memorable set-pieces than the first Electronic Super Joy.
