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, retro-inspired platformer with distinct character abilities, bright pixel visuals, and a story that tests friendships amid escalating action.

What players say

Players agree it improves on the first game in nearly every way, with gorgeous pixel art, a phenomenal soundtrack, and gameplay that feels like a 2D Sonic Adventure. Some find the puzzles, especially in the final level, break the speed-based pacing, and a few note Classic Mode lacks replay variety.
