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 colorful and cute puzzle game where you program little robots to solve challenges.

What players say

Players compare it to Zachtronics games like Opus Magnum and Exapunks, calling it a chill programming puzzle where you command robots to build shapes. Many find it easier than similar games, but the lack of copy-paste and other UI features makes optimizing solutions tedious. Players split on whether the lenient collision rules help or hurt the challenge.
