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 quick, accessible shoot-'em-up with a light arcade feel that works both solo and with friends.

What players say

Players enjoy building tanks from modular parts and feeling the difference in handling, but the game has quirks like no level select or pause during missions. The community says it gets frustrating yet keeps pulling them back.
