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 gentle, minimalist puzzle game where you paint pumpkins to match spooky targets, starting simple and slowly tightening in difficulty.

What players say

Players describe Boo! as a Halloween-themed spin on Factory Balls, painting pumpkins with masks and colors. It is short, around 30 to 60 minutes for the 42 levels, but the daily puzzles add replay value. The difficulty is gentle, though some levels require trial and error.
