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

You must perfectly time jumps and dashes as your character perpetually runs forward, creating a tense and unforgiving precision platforming challenge.

What players say

Players say Jumpfox is a punishing precision platformer where the fox walks automatically and you only control jump and dash. It draws comparisons to Getting Over It for its ability to frustrate and hook players simultaneously. Most finish in about an hour, but expect to repeat sections after major falls.
