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.

What players say

Players describe Swarm Sweeper as a casual survivor-like with a cute pixel-art dog companion. The gacha-style upgrade wheel is satisfying but the auto-aim system makes combat feel passive and monotonous. Early pacing drags before each boss fight, and some find the difficulty spike and unclear damage sources frustrating.
