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, one-button old-school platformer with tight controls and a constant sense of mild frustration from repeatedly dying and restarting levels.

What players say

Players enjoy the clever level design that builds complexity around a single jump button, though many say the game gets repetitive quickly and lacks checkpoints. Some call it a perfect casual challenge, while others find it blends Kirby with Super Meat Boy.
