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 methodical, straightforward puzzle game where you carefully place colored orbs while managing the slowly tightening pressure of an ever-filling board.

What players say

Players call it a faithful revival of a classic puzzle game, with simple yet addictive logic that demands strategic thought. Many praise the nostalgic Windows XP-styled design and appreciate the customizable field size and difficulty, though some note it lacks a borderless window mode.
