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 calm, abstract puzzle game where you methodically navigate obstacle-filled levels to collect energy, training spatial logic through deliberate movement and object manipulation.

What players say

Players say this sliding puzzle sequel adds new mechanics every 10 levels across 120 stages. Some find it short and easy, while others report a steep difficulty spike at the end. The timing-based puzzles split opinion, and players appreciate the built-in solution viewer.
