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 puzzle game where you carefully sequence moves to guide a ball through minimalist, abstract levels.

What players say

A puzzle game about arranging move instructions on a timeline to guide a ball (or two) to a goal. Players enjoy the clever two-ball collision mechanic and the steady introduction of new elements like conveyor belts and portals. The difficulty ramps up around area C, and some wish for a replay or step-through feature. A few note minor performance stutter when returning to the menu.
