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 frustrating but darkly comedic physics-based obstacle course where you constantly jump, crash, and fail trying to collect keys while the game mocks your failures.

What players say

Players call it the Dark Souls of sponges, a physics-based jump game that is easy to learn but hard to master. The satisfaction of a tough landing is countered by moments where a correct vector still fails due to random rotation and bounce.
