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 light strategy game where you carefully defend a heart from escalating waves of enemies with permanent upgrade choices.

What players say

Players are split on ProtectHeart: many find it addictive despite its simplicity, while others call it unbalanced and shallow. The game is a minimalistic shooter where an immobile heart defends itself, with random upgrades that some feel make early runs too dependent on luck.
