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 frantic, lighthearted party shooter where easy controls and silly tank skills turn every match into laugh-filled chaos.

What players say

Players love this as a chaotic party game for up to four people, comparing it to Worms and pencil-and-paper Tank Battle. The tactical depth surprises as you master different tanks and power-ups, but the game is strictly local multiplayer or via Remote Play Together, with no meaningful single-player mode.
