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 stressful pixel platformer where you control movement by cursor distance, making every jump and dodge a tense, precision test.

What players say

Players are split on this mouse-controlled hardcore platformer. Some enjoy it as a challenging time killer similar to Super Meat Boy or The Boshy, while others criticize janky wall-slide mechanics and call it an asset flip from a GameMaker template. Several say it is overpriced and short.
