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 strategic blend of building mazes and unleashing alien firepower in chaotic, destructive combat.

What players say

Players praise X-Morph: Defense as a tight mix of tower defense and twin-stick shooting, with a strong focus on resource management from enemy scrap and a fully destructible world. Some wish for more tower variety and say survival mode becomes punishing after wave 22.
