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 frantically build and upgrade defenses on your ship while fending off waves of space hazards and pirates in real time.

What players say

Players say it is a clever moving tower defense where you build and upgrade a spaceship during missions. The game is praised for its fun gameplay and writing, though some report crashes and missions that can feel like a puzzle with a narrow solution.
