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 quick, lighthearted PvP tower defense game where you deploy cute animal and fruit units in real-time matches to destroy the opponent's base.

What players say

Players enjoy Zoo Wars as a fast, cute tower-offense game with rounds under two minutes. They compare it to Clash Royale and board games, praising simple controls hiding deep timing and counterplay. Some call rock-paper-scissors interactions too luck-based but others defend the skill ceiling. Negatives include a slow character unlock and the lack of windowed mode.
