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 slick, physics-driven marble roller that demands quick reflexes and precision through fast, punishing obstacle courses.

What players say

Players describe an arcade ball-rolling game with many levels and a level editor. The game is extremely challenging later on, and many criticize the lack of checkpoints and the requirement to earn medals to unlock new episodes.
