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 straightforward pixel-art tower defense game where you build and upgrade drone towers to fend off waves of enemies in a sci-fi setting.

What players say

Players praise the resettable skill tree and focus on special abilities but are split: some enjoy the short 6-level campaign, while others find it brutally hard and unfinished. Frequent crashes are a consistent complaint.
