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 2D side-scroller with retro pixel art, funny dialogue, and a lighthearted sci-fi adventure feel.

What players say

Players compare it favorably to Solar Jetman and Axiom Verge. The jetpack has real physics and needs frequent refueling, which some find annoying. Bosses can spike in difficulty, and checkpoint saves mean lost progress on death splits opinion. Most finish in 9-18 hours.
