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.

A simple, repetitive idle game where you tap balls to score goals and earn currency for upgrades.

What players say

Players praise the satisfying and addictive loop, but many find the full game too short, with content comparable to the free demo. Performance issues like memory leaks and lag appear after a few hours, though some say recent updates improved things. Opinion is split on whether the current price is justified for what is offered.
