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, top-down tower defense where you repel waves of bio-monsters and giant kaiju using automated defenses and personal weaponry while managing survival and salvage in a post-apocalyptic setting.

What players say

Players say Acid Planet has a fun core loop that blends tower defense with active combat, but it was abandoned in early access. The game is shallow with only 16 waves per run, limited weapons and towers, and weak meta progression that caps quickly. Reviewers split on whether it is worth the low price or best skipped.
