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 mix of platforming and tower defense where you bounce on monsters and deploy traps under constant pressure.

What players say

Players describe Poöf as a mix of tower defense and action platforming, but say it quickly becomes repetitive with little variation. The controls feel unresponsive at times and the game can crash, especially when using speed up modes. Players find it fun in short bursts for a low price, though the lack of story and limited content wears thin.
