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 frantic, fast-paced puzzle platformer where you roll through colorful pixelated worlds, balancing offense and defense against quirky enemies.

What players say

Players praise the clever gun-and-shield puzzles, the pixel art, and the addition of isometric bonus levels. Many note the 5-hour length feels short for the $15 price, and some find the core concept grows tedious. The game is a faithful port of a mobile and flash original.
