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 calm, meditative puzzle game where you guide balls by drawing lines with different physical behaviours, encouraging quiet experimentation and multiple solutions without rush or failure pressure.

What players say

A minimalist physics puzzle where you draw lines to roll balls into a bucket. Players praise its addictive challenge and replay value, but note the physics can be janky and the UI rough. It offers about 5 hours of content.
