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 cheerful, cartoony platformer where you bounce through colorful levels with a friend, facing comical bosses and light peril.

What players say

Players call JUJU a competent but simple 2D platformer that borrows heavily from Donkey Kong Country and New Super Mario Bros. It is widely recommended for co-op play with children, thanks to a difficulty that is never too punishing and a mechanic where one player can carry the other. The hidden bonus stages come across as repetitive, and solo players may find the pace slow and unchallenging.
