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

Rotating geometric pieces to a soothing soundtrack feels like a calm, brain-teasing assembly task.

What players say

Players finish all 30 levels in about 15 to 30 minutes and wish it were longer. They find it relaxing and easy, with no penalty for moves, so it never gets hard. Late levels introduce more colors and multi-color pieces, but the game ends just as it gets interesting.
