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 lighthearted pixel-art puzzle platformer where you use gravity-shifting abilities to solve physics-based puzzles and escape a castle, feeling like a playful cartoon adventure with a focus on logic and hidden objects.

What players say

Players praise the clever puzzle design where rotating the screen changes gravity, and enjoy how new mechanics like floating crates keep things fresh. The star system rewards speed and efficiency, though some find the keyboard controls awkward and the limited visual variety makes levels feel samey.
