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 frantic, whimsical tower defense romp where you defend your home from invaders while protecting your beloved llama.

What players say

Players call this a fun but shallow free tower defense brawler, similar to Orc Must Die. Many note a severe difficulty spike on levels 4 and 5, and that the lich form makes the protagonist weaker instead of stronger. It is a student project, so content is limited and polish is low.
