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 fast-paced, retro-style platformer where you constantly jump as a hyperactive flea, collecting blood and exploring whimsical levels.

What players say

Players praise its authentic NES feel, with 80 levels and a constant-jumping gimmick, and note it gets difficult but fair. Some mention controller issues and a fullscreen bug that hurts performance, though an update fixed the controller problem.
