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 chaotic and funny precision platformer where you clumsily control each leg independently, making even simple jumps feel like a tightrope act.

What players say

Players are split on whether Hoplegs is punishing fun or a frustrating gimmick. The control scheme, where each button extends a different leg, is deliberately awkward and the game is compared to Jump King or Getting Over It. It offers more content than those games, including a level editor and local co-op.
