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, precise platformer that demands constant dimension-shifting to navigate hazards and enemies.

What players say

Players praise the clever dual-screen shifting mechanic, saying it is the heart of the game and not a gimmick. The platforming is tight, the difficulty high, and many return to speedrun. There is disagreement over the PC port's control bindings and changes from the 3DS original, but most recommend it to fans of hardcore platformers.
