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 clean, old-school puzzle-platformer where you collect coins while dodging simple pixel enemies through 100 bite-sized levels.

What players say

Players praise the clever level design across 100 stages, comparing it to Lode Runner without the bad puzzles. The game requires both careful thinking and quick reflexes, though some find playing more than 25 levels at once tiring.
