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 fast-paced tower defense game where you deploy and swap cartoony soldier units in tight indoor spaces, using gadgets and badges to hold off waves of colorful zombies.

What players say

Players split on Zombo Buster Advance: some find it addictive and well-balanced, others call it slow, boring, and too much like a mobile game. The lack of a speed-up button frustrates many, and the difficulty spikes sharply around level 13.
