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 humorous sidescrolling castle-builder where you construct defenses and launch counterattacks against comically-voiced enemies.

What players say
Players praise the charm and side-scrolling take on castle-building, but many hit a sharp difficulty wall in later worlds that feels unbalanced. Controls are also a common frustration, especially unit movement and siege tools.
