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 casually blow up blocky structures with physics, solving puzzles alone or competing with friends in a colorful, silly sandbox.

What players say

Players enjoy the physics-based puzzle concept but are often frustrated by poor performance, irritating sound effects, and the need to guess bomb placements rather than gradually refine them. The difficulty spikes suddenly, and the game feels like a mobile port, though it can be fun in short bursts with friends.
