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 and frantic tank combat game with retro pixel art, constant action, and a punishing difficulty curve.

What players say

Players see it as a bare-bones homage to classic tank shooters like Battle City, decent for its low cost but too short and simplistic. Some wish for more levels and controller support, and the game was removed from sale in 2025.
