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 fling colored spheres at a moving chain in a fast-paced, colorful, arcadey puzzle hunt through themed ancient-world levels.

What players say

Players consider this the best Luxor game, praising the map travel, boss fights, and upgradeable power-ups. A controversial chasing mechanic and the requirement to find canopic jars to finish the campaign frustrates some. Reviews note the levels repeat often and the game is still played for speedruns.
