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 frustrating yet rewarding puzzle platformer where careful movement and timing replace jumping, with a focus on smart level design and player-created content.

What players say

Players who loved the original web version are disappointed with this Steam port: bugs like broken physics, music jitters, a missing quit button, and a broken level editor make it feel worse than the free online game. Fans of the 'can't jump' concept still find it addictive, but many say to play it on its original platform instead.
