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 simple, challenging side-scroller where you control a goblin cook in a cartoonish fantasy world, collecting coins and avoiding traps with permanent death at stake.

What players say

Players describe a short, cute platformer with simple controls and a surprisingly funny ending. The game offers good value for its low price, though some find it derivative and the old-school mode unfairly hard.
