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 brisk, colorful 2D platformer that feels like a loving throwback to classic arcade-style jumping and collecting.

What players say

Players are split on this remake of the DS game. Many call it a bad port with buggy hitboxes, broken achievements, and repeated bosses, while a few enjoy it as a decent but flawed easygoing platformer.
