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 creative precision platformer that feels like a punishing but playful obstacle course, where you test your reflexes and build your own treacherous levels.

What players say

Players praise the variety of user-made levels and the robust editor, but agree the campaign and most custom stages are brutally hard, with even the tutorial causing deaths. Some call the challenge frustrating yet addictive.
