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 casual puzzle game where you kick and push boxes through short levels with a light, playful tone.

What players say

Players describe a short, free platformer with simple controls and a kicking mechanic. The pixel art and rigid movement remind some of Game Boy nostalgia. Opinions split on difficulty: most find it easy for most of the 30 levels, but several call out levels 26–30 for a severe spike, with one reviewer calling level 28 nearly impossible compared to the final level.
