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 tower defense where you can jump into a turret for up-close, satisfying shooting against alien waves.

What players say

Players see this as a barebones mobile port with clunky controls, no keyboard remapping, and repetitive level design. Many say it is outclassed by other tower defense games like Sanctum 2 or Gemcraft, though a few find it a passable time-waster when acquired cheaply.
