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 light, cartoony strategy game where you manage defenses against cartoon Martians in a casual, accessible match.

What players say

Players compare the game to Advanced Wars and other tactical titles, calling it a fun but unpolished take on the formula. They praise the 30-mission campaign and the splicing mechanic that creates hybrid units, but many report bugs including crashes near mission ends and performance snags on Steam Deck, though developers have patched some issues.
