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 playful and colorful tower defense game where you build mazes and use whimsical weapons to protect a cake from cute insect invaders.

What players say

Players praise its cute art style but warn it is surprisingly difficult. The unique limited-action system and score attack mode add depth, though some find resource scarcity frustrating. Ants on segways are a memorable hazard.
