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 relaxed but methodical base-building game focused on resource gathering, power management, and defense against waves of enemies.

What players say

Players say Vectorio Classic is a simple tower defense game that is easy to pick up but lacks depth, with a repetitive cycle of gathering resources and defending. Some praise its free price and soundtrack, while others report bugs with speed controls and a confusing tutorial that leads them to recommend Mindustry instead.
