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 nostalgic yet refreshed puzzle-platformer with quirky dual-hero mechanics and a playful, whimsical tone.

What players say

Players love this faithful but expanded remake of the 1987 classic, praising its vibrant pixel art and new rooms. However, many find the game too fast even on the classic speed setting, and the lack of shadows creates 3D perspective issues. It is challenging and addictive, especially on hard mode.
