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

rolling through billiard-themed dungeons while drafting stacking power-ups and bumping monster balls feels like a light, tactical puzzle with roguelike pacing.

What players say

Players say it is a simple, chill roguelike with satisfying shots, but note limited build depth and a short campaign. Some feel the content runs dry around five hours, and only a few strategies feel rewarding.
