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 straightforward, retro-styled puzzle platformer where you collect coins and dodge maze keepers across 36 levels.

What players say

A free spin-off of the platformer Elle, this is a short puzzle game with 36 levels where you collect coins and avoid enemies. Players say the puzzles have multiple solutions and difficulty ramps up reasonably, but the sound design is poor enough that many play muted. Some note that it feels limited, and profile features like achievements do not display.
