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 messy, gory sandbox where you pit bizarre units against each other in chaotic, fast-paced battles.

What players say

Players see a free battle simulator built from free assets, comparing it unfavorably to Ultimate Epic Battle Simulator. Performance quickly degrades in later waves and the sandbox mode is barebones besides spawning enemies. Some enjoy the gore physics and see potential if the developer adds content.
