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 retro rock'n'diamonds style game that mixes cute pixel visuals with brain-bending logic gates and punishing platforming, rewarding repeated failure with ecstatic victories.

What players say

Players call this a solid Supaplex-inspired puzzle game that teaches logic gates. The 30 levels are praised as clever but many find the game too short and wish for a level editor. Sentiment is split between those who love the difficulty ramp and the retro feel, and those who want more content.
