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 breezy, brain-tickling puzzle romp where nudging dice across a grid feels playful and light rather than intense.

About

The gameplay of Bombastic is similar to its predecessor, Devil Dice. Players control a family of small devil called Aqui that runs across a grid full of dice. Players can walk on the grid, pushing dice around, or walk on the dice, rolling them as the character walks. The objective and how dice are cleared vary between modes.
