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 short, experimental block-dropping puzzle where you combine elements to create life and guide it to escape.

What players say

Players are split on Bloks. Most praise the novel idea of blending Tetris with a god-sim, but many find the execution frustrating. The play field is too small, there is no tutorial, and the final objective of launching a rocket is extremely difficult to achieve, requiring luck and precise setups that often break when lines are cleared.
