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 fast, minimalist puzzle game where you frantically place hexagonal rails to keep a speeding train on track through procedurally generated terrain.

What players say
Players describe TrainFormation as a free student project that adapts board game mechanics into a tense arcade puzzle. The core loop of placing hex tiles ahead of an accelerating train is easy to pick up, and reviewers mention procedural generation and altitude rules add difficulty, though one encountered a wall of water that made a level impossible.
