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 thoughtful platformer where you switch between color-coded mutations to solve environmental puzzles and navigate levels.

What players say

Players call it a simple, short platformer that is good for playing with children, especially at a low price. Some praise the large levels and mutation upgrade system, while others find it underwhelming compared to free mobile games.
