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

Angvik 2 feels like a fast, chaotic, and cute action platformer where each run offers new weapons and foes, with light side activities between deaths.

What players say

Angvik 2 is a side-scrolling roguelike that is much easier than its cult predecessor. Players split on it: some enjoy the expanded items and magic, others find the combat too simple, the runs too short, and the weapon durability punishing. The game also adds farming and fishing, but some say those feel underused.
