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 straightforward matching game where you move a bird to drop nuts and clear them in groups of three or more.

What players say

Players are charmed by the huge variety of detailed bird models and their amusing animations, but split on the gameplay. Many say it is less a puzzle game and more a relaxing bird-watching experience, with the match-3 mechanics feeling too easy and repetitive. Setting options were minimal at launch, though some have been patched.
