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 simple, casual puzzler where you fling an alien through space with one button, dodging hazards and racing against the clock.

What players say

Players enjoy the simple one-button gravity mechanic and cute visuals, calling it a relaxing casual game. The experience is short and cheap, though some find the gameplay shallow and note hitbox issues.
