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 floaty, retro-inspired platformer where you guide a tiny flea through monster-filled caves with quick jumps and precise timing.

What players say

Players unanimously call this a frustrating, bare-bones platformer where you control only left and right jumps with variable power. There are no options, no fullscreen, and it crashes on exit. Players split on its charm: some find the flea character cute, others call it a waste of money.
