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 chaotic, satisfying loop of mowing down insect hordes while casually tending crops and unlocking overpowered builds.

What players say

Players praise the cute frog art and addictive gameplay, though some find the difficulty spike punishing. The farming elements are lightweight, mostly planting seeds between rounds for weapons and XP, and fans of survivor-likes enjoy the strategic depth and variety of frog builds.
