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 Tetris-inspired shape-passing puzzle game where you slide a wall to let falling blocks through holes.

About

"Dizzy hits the panic stations as the hydraulic crushers get closer and closer, belching steam - the machines going into termination sequence and its down to you to stop it." Dizzy Panic! was a puzzle game similar to Tetris, which involved moving a wall left to right so that falling shapes can pass through the appropriately shapes holes in the wall.
