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 highly customizable strategy game where you constantly adapt units and bases on the fly in procedurally generated, fast-paced battles.

What players say

Players praise the deep unit customization and sandbox freedom, often comparing it to Warzone 2100. The game is purely single-player on endless procedurally generated maps with no campaign, driven by a high score leaderboard. Some find it shallow, as maximum range tends to dominate, and the AI adapts to counter your strategies. Performance can suffer with massive unit counts.
