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 quick, satisfying puzzle game where you carefully plan moves to smash mutant weeds while avoiding wildlife and triggering chain reactions.

What players say

Players like the core cube-rolling puzzle mechanic but are frustrated by the lack of an undo button and a quick reset, calling it tedious on longer stages. There are no Steam achievements, which some reviewers consider a missed opportunity for a puzzle game.
