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.

What players say

Players describe a short puzzle game of about 20 to 40 minutes with 40 levels. The core loop is collecting chicks within a limited number of moves while avoiding falling barrels. Some note the game is easy enough for children, while others find later levels more challenging. A few mention the game feels like it belongs on mobile and that there is no undo button.
