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 puzzle game where you slide matching items in colorful pirate-themed levels, gradually increasing in challenge.

What players say
Players describe it as a sliding puzzle where you match two identical items to clear them, not a match-3. Each of the 100 levels adds new mechanics like portals, arrows, and dynamite. Some players want a move counter or leaderboard to gauge performance. A few note the Linux version has bugs.
