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 bright, casual arcade puzzle where you frantically pop expressive balloons for points in a silly, upbeat race against time.

What players say

Players say it is a simple balloon-popping game clearly ported from mobile, best suited for children under ten or as a very low-cost time killer. There are 45 levels and a color-combo scoring system, but the game has no settings menu, the sound is often called annoying, and many find it too repetitive or slow for adults.
