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 top-down shooter where you dodge enemies and collect power-ups while battling hostile frigates on the water.

What players say

Players call Battle of Frigates an overpriced flash game port with broken achievements and no trading cards. The top-down ship combat is fun for a few minutes, but reviewers say the difficulty spikes hard, the AI has perfect aim, and the only setting is language. Many call it a cheap asset flip from a known shovelware publisher.
