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

You command a planet in real-time, firing weapons through shifting gravity to blow up enemies in chaotic, physics-driven space battles.

What players say

Players praise the chaotic fun with friends but lament a dead online community and abandoned development. Opinions split on the campaign: some enjoy it while others find it frustratingly hard, especially level 3, and grindy for meta currency.
