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 are divided. Some call it an asset flip with little original content, while others enjoy the physics-based puzzle design. The game is very short, under an hour, and has only 30 levels. Difficulty spikes sharply around level 10, and late-level game over sequences are slow. Several players say the price is too high for the amount of content.
