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 fast-paced ball-rolling obstacle course that feels like a homemade indie challenge with fresh traps and strategic pacing.

What players say

Players are split on this ball-rolling game. The physics feel solid but the ball is sluggish, and each level has a strict timer that forces replays. Many complain there is only one music track that repeats constantly, and levels become tedious with long stage lengths late in the game. Others enjoy the challenge for the price.
