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

You control a dung beetle pushing a ball of poop through tricky 3D platforming, where realistic physics and classical music create a silly yet precise challenge.

What players say

Players enjoy this short, punishing marble-platformer that blends Monkey Ball with Getting Over It, taking about an hour to beat. The dung beetle mascot is widely loved, but reviewers warn of copyrighted music and minor technical issues like settings not saving.
