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 arcade shooter with retro pixel graphics and a focus on upgrading your tank as you blast through waves of alien enemies.

What players say

Players like the retro arcade feel and local co-op, but some find the tank controls slow and the XP grind necessary to finish later levels. The game is harder than it looks, with a small but decent variety of tanks and modes.
