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-paced 2D action platformer with cute pixel graphics, simple controls, and lighthearted combat that encourages no-damage combos and character upgrades.

What players say

Players compare it to a friendlier Metal Slug with RPG-lite upgrades and a collectible hunt. Some call the early stages too easy, others find the later game punishing. A frustrating knockback when touching large enemies and the lack of mid-level checkpoints are frequent complaints.
