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 frantic, arcade-style mining game where you quickly chop blocks and dodge falling rocks to collect gems.

What players say

Players call it an inferior clone of Timberman, swapping trees for ore with no added features. The game is a one-player left-right tapping loop with no difficulty curve, multiplayer, or achievements. A few note it can be a brief time-waster, but most say it gets boring in minutes.
