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 VR tower-defense shooter where you frantically zap, blast, and burn slimy alien snails that are stealing cabbages, with a playful, over-the-top tone.

What players say

Players are split on Snailiens. Some enjoy the VR tower defense and FPS hybrid, praising the precise aiming, teleport movement that avoids motion sickness, and the fun of standing in a warzone. Others call the controls clumsy and the graphics blocky, with particular complaints about Oculus Rift support, and one finds the early levels unchallenging.
