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 cheerful puzzle game that feels like a fast-paced mix of strategy and arcade action as you match bulbs and descend through levels.

What players say

Players enjoy its twist on Bust-a-Move where you drop balls into a well and gravity matters. The water slowly rises, adding pressure. Levels are handcrafted and often demand a specific solution. Some dislike the unclear scoring and a glitchy store.
