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 charming physics playground where you swing, solve, and brawl as a wooden puppet in a whimsical handcrafted world.

What players say

Players enjoy the variety of 310 levels and cosmetic unlocks, but agree the physics and controls feel clunky, especially with a keyboard, making a controller much better. The cute look hides a die-and-retry difficulty, and some bosses are repetitive while levels can have bugs that force replays.
