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 quick, precise platformer that feels punishing yet satisfying, with pixel art and arcade pacing.

What players say

Players call it a short precision platformer with smooth controls, comparable to Super Meat Boy. It can be finished in one to two hours, so reviewers universally recommend buying on sale. Some point to difficulty spikes and janky boss design, and a few note it works well for speedruns.
