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 fast-paced arcade tank shooter set in a neon grid world, where you control a single unit in large-scale battles with easy controls and upgradeable tanks.

What players say

Players are split on this sequel to Tank Universal. Many appreciate the unique Tron-style visuals and the fact a single developer made it, but several say it lost the quirky charm of the first game. The difficulty spikes hard on normal, and multiple reviewers call the ending anticlimactic for a story built across two games.
