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, chaotic local multiplayer platformer where you swing, grab relics, and dodge traps in short intense bursts.

What players say

Players love this as a chaotic couch party game for up to four, comparing it favorably to TowerFall. The grappling hook is both movement and attack, with trap-filled stages keeping matches unpredictable and fast. Some wish for online play or AI opponents, and there is no single-player campaign.
