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, minimalistic tower defense game where you strategically place defenses against waves of colorful cube enemies on an ever-expanding map.

What players say

Players are split on this tower defense. Some enjoy the fast pace and the random map that expands toward the exit, but others find the five towers with only two upgrades each too shallow and the lack of tower targeting frustrating. The game is quick to learn, though later invisible or speedy enemies can slip through.
