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

Controlling a fish through frustrating jumping puzzles with annoying obstacles and music, improving with each fall.

What players say

Players describe Jamping Fish as a punishing climbing game similar to Getting Over It, with simple directional controls and a quick checkpoint system. The difficulty is extreme, with some spending hours just to reach the first checkpoint, but many find it addictive and rewarding despite the rage.
