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 short, oldschool pixel-art platformer with deliberately tough but simple retro gameplay as an alien cat pushes boxes and squashes enemies.

What players say

Players praise the gravity-switching mechanic and short length of about 20 minutes across 30 levels. Many report that the controls feel unresponsive or overly fast, especially when switching gravity, and some find the forced backtracking to clear a level frustrating.
