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 calming but sometimes frustrating precision challenge where you guide an endlessly bouncing ball through obstacle courses, waiting for the right moment to move.

What players say

Players control a ball that bounces constantly, with only left and right movement. Horizontal momentum resets on each landing, making precision crucial. The 30 stages are short but demand many retries to earn gold, silver or bronze medals based on completion time. Some players note that platform positions do not reset between attempts, which can affect time trial consistency.
