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 charming and lighthearted cooperative puzzle game where you and a friend carefully balance packages on your heads while bouncing through a colorful jelly world.

What players say

Players love the adorable jelly characters and hats, but many say the core fun is undermined by sluggish controls and a steep difficulty curve. The biggest frustration is the lack of online multiplayer, which leaves remote couples unable to play together. Reviews are split: some call it a charming co-op puzzle game, others a frustrating test of patience.
