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 chill, turn-based puzzle game where you carefully plan cat-and-ball movements on a hex grid under a Martian sky.

What players say

Players call it a clever mix of turn-based basketball and puzzle, with each of the 50 levels requiring careful planning. The difficulty ramps up steadily, and a few reviewers note the game lacks an undo button. Opinions are split on replayability, with some calling it a one-time experience.
