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 punishing and precise 2D platformer with pixel-art visuals and arcade action that feels like a classic of the genre.

What players say

Players say this 2D platformer is punishingly difficult with stiff controls, often calling it frustrating yet addictive. It has 36 levels across 9 worlds and 8 boss fights, a piano soundtrack, and is developed by a Turkish creator. Some note the need to collect every gold coin to progress and that gamepad support is missing.
