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 satisfying and increasingly tricky puzzle game that feels like unraveling tidy knots on a colorful grid.

What players say

Players enjoy Dot Hop as a relaxing puzzle game with simple mechanics that become surprisingly difficult. Many finish it in a few hours and appreciate the cute visual style and chill music, though some note a lack of progression after the first mechanic.
