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 gentle, mind-teasing journey through clean, colorful 3D spaces where you slide objects into portals at a calm pace.

What players say

Players describe OxU as a clean 3D puzzle game about connecting energy pathways by flipping and rotating tiles. It starts relaxing but the last twenty levels frustrate some with their complexity. Many compare it favorably to the developer's Zup series and find the 77 levels good value, especially on sale.
