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 swift and punishing platformer where a single mistake ends the run, set in a deceptively cheerful world.

What players say

Players call this a very hard platformer, with some complaining that the physics changed over time and spears became one-use. Others note it is a simple old game worth revisiting for nostalgia, though the difficulty is punishing.
