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 write code to direct automated units in competitive real-time battles against other players' scripts.

What players say

Players describe a programming game where you write JavaScript to control units in competitive arenas, then watch your bot fight autonomously. Reviews split on development: some say the game was abandoned and the community is dead, while others report an active developer and a recent 1.0 launch with seasons.
