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 cheerful but demanding precision platformer where looping paths and momentum create a playful puzzle of timing and movement.

What players say

Players describe it as a short, minimalist one-button platformer with a toy-like feel: easy to pick up but hard to master. The 120 levels are tight and precise, though some note the lack of in-game music and leaderboards for speedrunning. Sentiment is positive overall, especially at its sale price, but the repetitive nature and missing features keep it from feeling complete.
