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 blend of real-time strategy and tower defense that feels like directing a frantic, physics-driven battlefield while fortifying a position.

What players say

Players praise the mix of RTS and tower defense but warn that the economy is tight, forcing a narrow set of effective strategies. Some levels are frustrating because flying units ignore walls and the final mission leans too heavily on the weaker RTS side.
