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 methodical tower defense game where elemental combinations and quick tactical adjustments against waves of enemies create a low-key but engaging puzzle-like feel.

What players say

Players say this is a basic mobile Tower Defense port with nostalgic roots as a Warcraft 3 custom map. It's valued at its low price, but many find it shallow, monotonous, or poorly optimized for PC.
