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-paced run-and-gun platformer where you charge through levels, dashing and shooting to reclaim and combine enemy powers.

What players say

Players call it a short Megaman-inspired platformer that can be beaten in 15 to 30 minutes. Opinions split on controls and challenge: some find them fluid and fair, others struggle with wall climbing and slippery movement. The 4 boss stages and limited enemy variety frustrate some, while others enjoy the challenge and retro soundtrack.
