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, colorful puzzle-shooter where you must adapt to enemy abilities while gradually powering up your magic shots.

What players say

Players call this a twist on Zuma where enemies have health instead of dying in one hit, making the pacing more deliberate. The difficulty is high and often frustrating, though bosses unlock new abilities. Some note the final boss feels weak. A few mention achievements glitch, and the game is not color blind friendly.
