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 gentle physics puzzle where you carefully remove colored shapes, feeling methodical and satisfying as you clear each level.

What players say

Players describe it as a polished, expanded version of the old Flash game Red Remover. It offers over 160 levels that take 5-6 hours to complete, with physics-based puzzles that sometimes rely on trial and error rather than pure logic. The developer responds quickly to issues, and while the low price is praised, colorblind players cannot differentiate red from green shapes.
