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 light-hearted, fast-paced side-scrolling rescue adventure with cooperative play, set against a tropical backdrop.

What players say

Players compare it favorably to Commander Keen, with large levels and plenty to collect. The hand-drawn graphics are polarizing, often described as ugly but charming. Enemies kill in one hit, which some find frustrating.
