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, retro-inspired run-and-gun platformer with classic arcade feel and cooperative play against alien invaders.

What players say

Players call it a faithful remake of the ZX Spectrum classic JetPac, with pure retro aesthetics and a pixel-perfect loading screen. Campaign is surprisingly long for a small game, and the New School endless runner mode adds variety. Difficulty ramps up with pattern learning required on each planet, and a two-player co-op is a welcome bonus. Some wish for more background music and a stronger theme.
