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 puzzle-battle game where you quickly build and defend tiny islands while matching pieces to chain combos against an opponent.

What players say

Players call it a unique puzzle fighter where blocks do not fall on their own, giving more control. The campaign is short, around a few hours. The music splits opinion, some find it pleasant and atmospheric, one calls it the worst they have heard.
