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 lighthearted, cartoonish physics puzzler where you control bouncing zombies in a casual score-attack with humorous skins and unlockable abilities.

What players say

Players describe it as a hybrid of breakout and bubble shooter mechanics with zombies. The game is fun in short bursts but repetitive, with slow progression and heavy reliance on luck. RNG and a late-game chain hammer enemy frustrate players, and the achievements are considered grind-heavy. Long-time players note development has stopped.
