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 casual, festive tower defense game with a lighthearted sense of urgency as you defend Christmas trees from beetles on a snowy winter eve.

What players say

Players describe this as a Christmas reskin of the original Garden Rescue, keeping the same gameplay with festive graphics and costumes. The coin collecting system is a highlight, and while some find it too simple, others say it gets quite challenging on harder difficulty levels.
