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 gentle, turn-based puzzle game where you plan cat-basketball moves on a hex grid under Saturn's alien sky.

What players say

Players enjoy the mix of basketball, cats, and puzzle logic. The third entry in the series adds a moving enemy and a female player character, but some report a menu-breaking bug after a September 2021 update. The 30-level campaign is seen as short, and the final puzzles get quite difficult.
