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.

What players say

Players describe Spectraball as a short, janky marble platformer with clunky controls and repetitive levels. The environments are varied and visually appealing, but the physics feel awkward and the later stages grow boring. Many note it is not a puzzle game despite the tag, and opinions split on whether the charm outweighs the flaws.
