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 fast, energetic puzzle-action mashup that's easy to pick up but tense in head-to-head play.

About

Candy Crisis is an exciting combination of pure action and puzzle gaming! The game features twelve unique stages, complete with its own character and individual technique. Also, you can pair off against a friend, and even specify a handicap so that both players are evenly matched. And if you don't want to play against an opponent, Solitaire Crisis mode allows you to practice without having to compete against an opponent. A tutorial is included with the game as well, so even puzzle novices can become Candy Crisis champions in no time.
