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.

What players say

Players returning to the series note this entry has fewer speed boosts, making some levels feel slow. The game offers over 50 levels with creative maps and a new Gift of the Gods power-up, but longtime fans split on whether the pacing hurts the usual relaxing loop.
