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 playful, imaginative 2D game where basketball mechanics twist into surreal vignettes, offering lighthearted platforming and a charming story.

What players say

Players praise BasketBelle as a charming and creative blend of basketball and platforming, but nearly everyone warns it is very short at under an hour. The heartwarming story about a boy rescuing his sister and the unique cardboard art style stand out, though some find the controls awkward or the last level unfun.
