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 quick, polished platforming romp where swinging, dashing, and collecting feel snappy and joyful across vibrant pixel worlds.

What players say

Players are split on whether this sequel improves on the original or loses what made it special. Many praise the new character Pablo's levels and the charming art and music, but criticize Luna's controls as cluttered and say the grapple physics feel heavier and less momentum-driven. Some also find switching between the two dogs confusing.
