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 calm, slow-paced puzzle game where you methodically click squares to match colors, with a timer and move counter adding gentle pressure.

What players say

Players describe Qubika as a simple tile-flipping puzzle similar to Lights Out. The game lacks basic features like a quit button and volume control, and its difficulty curve is uneven. It is very short, around 20 minutes without a guide, and feels like a mobile port. Some players appreciate it for quick achievement hunting.
