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 methodical abstract puzzle game where you manipulate cell compartments and catalysts to build compounds, demanding careful lateral thinking.

What players say
Players praise Tricone Lab for its original cellular biology theme and the way new mechanics keep piling on until the later levels get quite tricky. There is a built-in level editor and the developer still gives cryptic hints on the forum, though running the game requires Java and some players report limited resolution options.
