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 casual, strategic tower defense where you place adventurers instead of towers, with a colorful fantasy feel.

What players say

Players describe this as a simple, addictive throwback tower defense where heroes replace towers. The cute pixel art and music are praised, but some find it too bland with no powers or upgrades between levels. Difficulty spikes on certain maps frustrate some, while others enjoy the challenge and the ability to pause and adjust strategy.
