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 fast-paced arcade platformer where you control a spiderbot drilling through procedurally generated mineshafts, avoiding falling blocks and squishing enemies.

What players say

Players praise the tight movement and funky music, with many enjoying speedrunning or chasing a deathless run. The game is short but layered, requiring patience to learn its digging mechanics before levels click.
