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 fast-paced tactical tower defense game with a colorful, cartoony aesthetic and a focus on strategic deployment and killstreaks.

What players say

Players love the challenge but find the UI frustrating: health bars blend into the background, the speed toggle does nothing, and there is no next wave button. The killstreak multiplier system adds depth, but the difficulty spikes sharply around wave 23, and players split on whether the game needs rebalancing for less skilled players.
