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 fast-paced tactical puzzle of modifying turrets and managing chain reactions in a colorful, minimalist sci-fi arena.

What players say

Players say the foundations are solid but the game is short on content: runs become repetitive with small maps, no upgrades between matches, and some bosses can bug out. Sentiment splits on whether the minimalist design is clean or just lacking polish.
