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.

About

Enjoy the relaxing puzzle of Habitat Shapes by organizing spaces for three animal families – mammals, birds, and reptiles – using Fence/Wall pieces to keep them separated. Watch out: different families cannot touch, and any attempt triggers a funny “fight cloud,” sending the last piece back to the conveyor. With 30 levels split between the structured Urban Zoo and the organic Safari Sanctuary, Habitat Shapes offers short, accessible, and reversible challenges. Pick, rotate, and place pieces on the grid, experiment with undo and restart, and find the perfect layout of space and barriers. Each move brings small victories and satisfying moments without time pressure, letting you enjoy a flawlessly organized zoo. Perfect for fans of spatial organization, subtle visual humor, and puzzles that reward smart experimentation.
