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 platformer that demands precise timing and relentless focus from the player.

What players say

A tribute to retro flash games, this is a short precision platformer where an aging knight flies with a helicopter helmet to collect gold. Players find the difficulty ramps up hard after the first half, especially in the last few levels. There is some disagreement about polish: most praise the music and core gameplay, but some note pickups should reset on death and cutscenes cannot be skipped.
