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 lighthearted, straightforward tower defense game where you build and upgrade defenses against waves of orcs.

What players say

Players say it is a basic, no-frills tower defense game with nothing new. The campaign is short, around 5 hours, but levels after 20 become unfairly hard, forcing specific tower placements. The only progression is unlocking and upgrading towers with crystals, which requires replaying old levels.
