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 cute, top-down puzzle game where you push farm animals into a beam while unlocking silly hats, feeling methodical and whimsical.

What players say

Players praise the polished presentation and the way each animal type behaves differently, from chickens that move until they hit something to pigs that slide on oil. There are 100 levels with no timer or move limit, just the puzzle itself. Some find the later stages very hard and note that completing every achievement can drain the fun.
