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, challenging 8-bit platformer where you fight through waves of drones and tanks, with a boss at the end of each stage.

What players say

Players describe this as a retro pixel platformer that strongly resembles Super Mario. Combat and flying sections add variety, but the difficulty feels unfair due to no checkpoints, sluggish controls, and punishing instant-death bosses. Many also criticize it as a low-quality Flash game.
