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 minimal and abstract puzzle game where you quietly shift numbered blocks to form equations, with a calm yet challenging feel.

What players say

Players say Block Buster Billy is a creative mix of Sokoban and math puzzles, resembling *Baba Is You* in its abstract rules. The core mechanic of merging blocks into valid equations works well, but many find the block-pushing tedious and the difficulty scaling too sharp for a smooth experience.
