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 nostalgic, straightforward artillery duel with pixel graphics and turn-based shooting.

What players say

Players call this a solid nostalgia trip that captures the spirit of the classic DOS game, but it's missing several weapons, wall types, and the quick one-hit-kill feel of the original. Multiplayer can be laggy or crash, and some bugs like infinite bouncing shots still need fixing.
