Is the toy from the Microsoft Store a regular app or an online service?

I got a nice simple toy in the Microsoft Store - Number Brick Breaker. I start, I play - everything is OK, there are no problems. They start when I try to climb deeper.
Firstly, the game icon only appeared in the taskbar (quick launch area) and in the Start-> All Programs list, it could not be placed on the Desktop. Further, there are no settings or properties. There is not even the program itself in the system folders (a search on the C drive by the name of the game and the name of the publisher also does not find anything). It seems that this is not software, but an Internet service. To check this, I turned off access to the Network, I launch it - it still works! Yes, and in the list of installed ones, it means that it can be removed.
So what is it and where does it sit on your computer?
