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 where you fluidly wall-jump and double-jump through geometric levels filled with spikes, feeling both challenging and pure.

What players say

Players say Ganbaru is a short, sweet precision platformer with a cute art style and relaxing music. The challenge ramps up on levels like 45 with sawblades, and the camera can be frustrating as it follows the character's line of sight.
