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, logic-focused puzzle-platformer where you flip gravity to guide cute pixel mice through tidy underground homes toward the moon.

What players say

Players praise the gravity-flipping mechanic as a clever twist that keeps puzzles feeling fresh. The difficulty curve is well-tuned, with some noting the last sixth adds precision platforming and one mentioning 30 minutes on level 42. The 36 cookie collectibles offer extra challenge.
