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 frantic physics sandbox where you race to build a fortress while watching it get blasted apart in satisfying, chaotic explosions.

What players say

Players praise the creative physics-based fort building and chaotic multiplayer, but split on the experience: long-time fans are frustrated by neglected bugs, poor reporting tools, and instability since the Firecracker DLC. The campaign is tough, the community maps add huge replay value, and the game runs on weak hardware.
