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

You hypnotize goblins with your flute, building a squad to fend off waves of humans in a brisk, strategic twist on bullet hell.

What players say

Players praise the simple, addictive gameplay and charming art style, comparing it favorably to other vampire-like games. They enjoy collecting different goblins with unique specials and the meta progression, but note an issue where diagonal movement is faster than straight, and some want portuguese language support that was advertised but is missing.
