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 simple but addictive 2D platformer that progressively ramps up in challenge as you collect orbs and earn credits for cosmetic rewards.

What players say

Players describe Icky as a simple survival arena game where red enemies drop from the sky and follow predictable paths. Reviews are split: some call it a fun time waster, while others say it feels like a Unity tutorial project, with repetitive single-screen content and hitbox frustrations. The only progression is purchasing cosmetic skins.
