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.

a gentle, physics-driven puzzle game where you guide a tiny planet through colorful galaxies with simple, rhythmic button presses.

What players say

A short physics puzzler that takes about two hours to finish but can stretch to eight for full completion, with players praising its cute presentation and simple one-click controls. The difficulty ramps up significantly in the final world, and some find the floaty physics inconsistent, leading to trial and error.
