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 frantic tower defense game where waves of increasingly powerful enemies rush your defenses, forcing constant upgrade decisions and reactive strategy.

What players say

Players call this one of the toughest tower defense games around, with the final two levels demanding dozens of attempts. Some find the challenge rewarding, while others quit over its relentless difficulty, especially when enemies attack from multiple directions. Development has stalled and the game receives no updates.
