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 frantic arcade brick-breaker where speed and multitasking are rewarded, demanding quick reflexes to juggle buffs and dodge debuffs.

What players say

Players say Brickfest is a challenging Breakout clone with power-ups that can both help and hinder, such as skulls that instantly kill you. The game is short, taking about 30 minutes to finish, but includes a level editor. Some note audio crackling on Linux.
