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 frantic, minimalist pixel-dodging challenge that demands split-second decisions and rhythmic focus as you control two independent points.

What players say

Players describe Twixel as a challenging arcade game where you control two cubes at once, each on its own obstacle course. The difficulty is compared to Super Hexagon, and while the core loop is addictive, some note the campaign is short and controls lack rebinding options.
