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 frantic arcade duel where you race to complete a jigsaw puzzle while fending off monsters and sabotaging your opponent.

What players say

Players love the unusual mix of a vertical shoot-'em-up with jigsaw puzzles, calling it a fresh take on the Twinkle Star Sprites formula. Matches are tense and can flip quickly, though some wish for enemy chaining and faster pacing.
