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 retro-inspired 2D platformer where you guide a cute lizard through whimsical, obstacle-filled levels with simple run-and-jump mechanics.

What players say

Players describe this as a precision platformer with a retro feel and simple narrative. The difficulty is generally welcome, though some note a steep spike around level 10 and the wall-climbing controls are frustrating for some. The pixel art and music are praised.
