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 fast and demanding action-platformer with retro pixel art where every second counts as you navigate tight jumps and bullet-hell-style robot battles.

What players say

Players praise the fast, precise action and note the campaign is longer than most run-and-guns at around 5 to 11 hours. The difficulty is consistently called punishing, with tight time limits on stages and some levels requiring blind leaps that feel unfair. Opinions split on the music: some find it amazing, others dislike it. A few report input problems on controllers or keyboard.
