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

You tinker with blocks and logic to overcome physics puzzles, feeling clever and methodical as each contraption clunks into action.

What players say

Players enjoy building robots and contraptions to solve physics puzzles, praising the creative freedom and the level editor. However, opinions split: some find the controls and building interface frustrating, while others call the physics and level design repetitive or unrealistic.
