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

Piloting a neon tank through vast, Tron-like arenas, dodging shells in frantic first-person skirmishes with dozens of units.

What players say

Players are split on Tank Universal: some love its Tron-style arcade campaign and weapon upgrades, while others find the movement too slow and say certain missions are poorly designed. Multiple reviews warn about a memory leak that forces restarts, and the game locks to 30 fps.
