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

You race through bite-sized levels, chaining grapple swings to shave seconds off your time in a flow state of precise momentum.

What players say

Players are split on this free-to-play grapple-based speedrunner. Some enjoy the short, silly chase for gold times and find the bugs amusing, while others call the movement clunky and unsatisfying, and agree the game is short and still in development.
