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 breezy, comedic arcade mashup where you place random emoji soldiers to fend off waves of internet monsters with flashy bullets and lucky matches.

What players say

Players praise the lighthearted emoji theme and meme-filled boss designs, but split on the restrictive placement system where units cannot move freely and must rely on costly random shuffles. The 60-round battles run long, and some note that the difficulty can spike if key upgrades don't appear.
