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 rhythm arcade game where timing and coordination are tested as balls fall to the beat of the music.

What players say

Players describe Jinko as a simple arcade game about hitting balls upward that is easy to learn but gets difficult and stressful when chasing leaderboard scores. Reviews split on tone: some call it a chill game to vibe with music, others find it rage-inducing. The developer is known for being responsive on Discord.
