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 colorful and stylized tower defense game that starts manageable but escalates in speed and chaos as waves of robotic enemies attack.

What players say

Players praised the ability to move towers mid-battle but found the game grindy: you replay the same map many times to unlock harder difficulties. There is no story and the single music track repeats. A few call the balance broken, saying one maxed tower wins everything. Controller support is broken and development appears to have stalled.
