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 rapidly-paced, punishing arcade platformer requiring precise timing and reflexes.

What players say

Players praise its beautiful pixel art and music, but the game is clearly inspired by Ghosts 'n' Goblins with a slightly easier but still challenging curve. Players split on whether the no-save forced-one-sitting design and some frustrating RNG enemy spawns hold it back.
