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 game that feels like managing and upgrading a spaceship's defenses, then switching to hands-on action during frantic space battles.

What players say
Players praise the progression system and the ability to target specific parts of enemy ships, but warn not to neglect hull upgrades. A poorly balanced final level can become impossible if you upgrade speed too much, and some find each level takes too long.
