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 frantic physics puzzler where you set off chain reactions of explosions to crack safes and race against the clock in a Wild West setting.

What players say

Players say Gunpowder is a casual puzzle game built around drawing trails of gunpowder to blow up piggy banks, with 150 levels across chapters. It works well on Steam Deck's touchscreen, but many call it a bare mobile port with imprecise mouse controls, repetitive later stages, and a shift to twitch-reaction puzzles that frustrate some.
