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 solve spatial puzzles by placing pieces to deflect energy bullets that pulse to the beat, making the music evolve with your solutions.

What players say

Players call Micron a short, cheap puzzle game where you redirect balls to solve levels while the music reacts to your moves. Opinions split: some find it a chill, clever rhythm-puzzler, others say puzzles rely too much on trial-and-error timing and that it is not really a rhythm game.
