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

Playing feels like navigating a frustrating but charming old-school 3D platformer with quick-time events and bullet time, where your angry penguin protagonist fights through enemies in a colorful, retro-inspired world.

What players say

Players split on Angry Penguin: some love the rage-inducing challenge, others find the slow jumps and near-constant one-hit deaths unfair. Performance issues and dated visuals are consistently criticized.
