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 frantic wave-based shooter where players blast through swarms of bizarre zombies and bosses across cartoonish yet gory maps.

What players say

Players call Xombee a short arcade shooter that's decent for its low price, but note it has only three weapons, a tiny map, broken audio sliders, and a victory screen after ten waves. Some praise the physics and compare it favorably to Call of Duty, while others criticize the slow pace and buggy reload animation. Nearly all reviews are written with zero playtime.
