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 casual arcade game where simple controls give way to tense momentum-based puzzles in colorful, minimalist levels.

What players say

Players praise the music and find the game addictive despite its difficulty, often calling it rage-inducing. The game is a 2D obstacle maze, not a glider sim, and some recommend using a controller. Reviews split on whether the difficulty becomes unfair late in the game.
