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

You control a small hand-drawn plane in a simple but increasingly fast-paced side-scrolling flight, collecting stars while dodging rocks and dangers.

What players say

Players are split: some call it a relaxing one-button time-waster similar to Flappy Bird, while others flag it as a Unity asset flip with minimal original content and no achievements.
