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, fast-paced platformer with tight melee combat and a comedic Mexican folklore theme, challenging yet rewarding in single or co-op play.

What players say

Players praise Guacamelee's humor, Mexican-inspired art, and music, calling it a solid, short metroidvania that works well as an intro to the genre. The combat and progression are fun, though some find the final boss a steep difficulty spike and note colorblind players may struggle with certain enemies.
