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 frantic, silly platformer where you spit wacky projectiles through hand-crafted bullet-hell levels with a friend.

What players say

Players compare it to Super Mario World but note it stands apart with bullet-hell platforming and a steady difficulty curve. Collectibles and secret exits keep levels replayable, and the soundtrack gets special praise, though some find the chasing-face gimmick frustrating.
