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 vibrant pixel-art platformer that feels fast and cheerful, with a satisfying grappling hook mechanic that balances exciting jumps and tricky challenges.

What players say

Players describe it as a charming but flawed 2D platformer built around a grappling hook. The core grapple mechanic is fun in theory, but many find the controls frustrating, citing slippery movement and an inconsistent grapple hitbox that makes precise sections feel unfair.
