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

Playing TANKBOX feels like a lighthearted, strategic arcade duel with toy tanks in a wooden box, offering brief bursts of tactical action.

What players say

Players call it a faithful reimagining of the Wii Play tank game, with simple controls and a steep difficulty curve. Co-op and the built-in level editor are highlights, though the AI can feel impossibly smart. Some find the difficulty either too high or too low, and menu controller support is weak.
