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, fast-paced tower-defense arcade game where you toss planes and buy quirky upgrades to fend off luggage waves, with a playful froggy aesthetic and endless build variety.

What players say

Players enjoy the mix of manual airplane throwing and tower placement, but the difficulty flips: early game is challenging, later upgrades make the player nearly invincible, which some find boring. Performance can stutter as runs get long. The developer is responsive to feedback.
