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 thoughtful, methodical puzzle game where you carefully trade health to manipulate obstacles and find the most efficient path to the exit.

What players say
Players enjoy the clever core mechanic where health changes affect block sizes, but they split on difficulty: some find the curve smooth while others call it uneven. Many note minor issues like animation delay and the lack of an undo button, though the short length and fair price are praised.
