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 lighthearted strategic puzzle game with hot air balloon duels and customizable powers that feels playfully tactical.

What players say

Players like the original barrier mechanic that pushes toward the opponent, but many say the game feels too luck-based and repetitive. The story and graphics are forgettable, and some find the difficulty inconsistent.
