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 fast-paced arcade action game where you bounce a ball to destroy blocks in space, with a sci-fi backstory about a runaway 3D printer.

What players say

Players split on this breakout clone. Many praise the unique level art and music, but others say the scrolling levels are filled with too many indestructible blocks, making each stage a slow slog. A major frustration is that dying to a boss forces a full level restart, and there is no way to skip a stage.
