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 satisfying and methodical puzzle experience where all blocks move as one, rewarding clear thinking with calm progress.

What players say

Players praise this as a solid, minimalist sliding puzzle game from a known developer, but note its spartan design: no options menu, no undo, no level skip, and only 37 levels. The difficulty ramps up noticeably in the late stages, especially level 32, which many get stuck on, but overall it remains approachable if not overly deep.
