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 zany, explosive arena combat game where players pilot comical armored vehicles in fast-paced, chaotic team battles.

What players say

Players describe it as a free-to-play tank arena game similar to World of Tanks but without online servers, making multiplayer essentially dead. The single-player or local play has a cute art style and humor that some find charming, but the lack of players and apparent abandonment by developers frustrate others. Sentiment is split between those who see potential and those who call it unplayable.
