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 quick, competitive puzzle-matching game where popping colored balloons in chains feels light and arcade-like despite its fighting-game branding.

About

Puzzle Arena Toshinden takes the furious fighters right out of the ring and into the world of puzzle games! The game plays out much like the Puyo Puyo series by Sega. Connect 3 balloons of the same color to make them disappear. Get combos to have black pieces fall on the opponent's side that are harder to get rid of.
