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 light, colorful top-down session where you defend against waves of enemies and aliens with tanks or mechs in fast-paced tactical combat.

What players say

Players enjoy the mix of RTS, tower defense, and bullet heaven mechanics, controlling a mech while building a base. They highlight three distinct mechs, each with a different combat role, and the need to build energy stations and defenses. Many say it is promising but still rough around the edges, with unclear unit descriptions and some balance issues.
