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 soothing and tactile puzzle game where you squish, pop, and mix colorful soap bubbles in a gentle physics-driven flow.

What players say

Players praise the polished visuals and relaxing puzzle mode, but many find the difficulty uneven with random spikes. The arcade mode and its fish mechanic draw mixed feelings, often called stressful or annoying rather than fun.
