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 lighthearted tower defense with a goofy, cartoon aesthetic where quick tactical decisions and resource management determine whether your tribe thrives or gets wiped out, with humorous unlocks for skilled play.

What players say

Players compare it to Kingdom Rush but say it stands on its own with a caveman theme and no hero units, only towers. Reviews are split: some praise the art and gradual difficulty, while others report game-breaking bugs with pause and 2x speed, a confusing text-free UI, and overly long levels even on fast forward.
