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 quick, satisfying loop of matching fruit pieces to serve customers, with a light sense of progression as you grow your juice bar.

What players say

Players describe Juice Mania as an unusual match-3 mixed with time management, where you connect fruits to fill customer orders. Many find the controls sluggish with too many extra clicks, the resolution dated and the window tiny, though some enjoy the nostalgic art style and core puzzle loop.
