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 chill yet brisk block-puzzler where you and your crab helpers tidy a sunny beach under the gentle pressure of incoming waves.

What players say

Players call it a fresh take on Tetris with a beach theme. You arrange washed-up blocks into squares while avoiding pollution from clutter, and the inability to drag pieces over others adds strategy. Many mention the soundtrack, multiple modes, and online leaderboards, though a few note the block rotation can be finicky when squeezing into gaps.
