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 playful physics sandbox where you build and test a tower against chaotic disasters and cartoon enemies.

What players say

Players enjoy the physics-based tower building with obstacles like earthquakes and trains, but many find the controls clunky and the UI poor. The campaign is short, about 2 hours, and gets very difficult in later levels. Some note it is not a tower defense game despite the name.
