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 casual, physics-based brick-breaker with hexagonal puzzles, colorful stylized visuals, and a light-hearted arcade feel.

What players say

Players say it's a cute brick-breaker with a twist, where bees are chained together and bonus points reward keeping them safe. The included level editor is intuitive, but Steam Deck users report bugs like progress blocks and paddle glitches.
