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

You steer a rolling ball through physics-based obstacle courses, balancing precision with relaxation as you collect coins and unlock skins across over 100 bite-sized levels.

What players say

Players praise the tight controls and level design, but note a steep difficulty curve and lack of checkpoints in long levels. Some report minor bugs like the pause menu lingering. Controller support is needed for Steam Deck, and players compare it to Super Monkey Ball or Marble Madness.
