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 deliberately tough, nostalgia-drenched platformer that blends crude humor with cartoon gore and a punishing old-school challenge.

What players say

Players call it a Megaman clone with a bigger hitbox and no autofire button, making high difficulties a strain. It is easier than the first game but still very hard, and fans of the AVGN series enjoy the crude humor, music, and cameos like the Nostalgia Critic.
