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 punishing physics platformer where you must precisely swing and punch yourself upward through medieval levels with a quirky, determined tone.

What players say

Players compare it to Getting Over It but say the physics engine is buggy, causing random clipping and violent flings. It offers a short campaign and multiplayer, but some players find the controls frustrating and luck-based.
