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 breezy, nostalgic platforming romp that feels like a gentle return to classic mole-powered adventuring.

What players say

Players call this the weakest Monty Mole game, a faithful port of the TurboGrafx-16 version that keeps its flaws like a finicky hitbox and no widescreen support. Keyboard input has noticeable latency, and opinions split on whether it's worth the price or a cash grab from Piko Interactive.
