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 frantic, cartoon fantasy tower defense that feels like a quick-witted tactical puzzle with a cheeky sense of humor.

What players say

Players praise the campaign and jungle levels as the series' best, but opinions split on tower balance: the mech and necromancer towers dominate while some mage and barracks towers feel weak. The lack of a speed-up button frustrates, and the hero you pick heavily shapes how hard each level feels.
