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

You command a growing army of townspeople against alien invaders in fast-paced, top-down arcade battles with roguelike progression and autobattler mechanics.

What players say

Players say the game has a fun premise and good music, but that runs quickly feel repetitive because upgrades are only stat boosts, and speed and fire rate are the only stats that matter. Many see it as a shallow meme game that runs out of content after an hour.
