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 fast-paced strategic blast where you build synergies and watch your defenses mow down waves of aliens in colorful pixel chaos.

What players say

Players compare it to a more active Plants vs Zombies with a vertical shift mechanic that requires constantly moving towers during waves. The synergy system between weapons and passives is praised, but some find the shift mechanic anxiety-inducing. The developer is known for rapid bug fixes and consistent updates since early access. Runs well on Steam Deck with controller support.
