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 fast, cartoonish arcade game where you ram into germs with a sense of goofy aggression.

What players say

Players are split on Germ Wars. Some enjoy the arcade-style survival and upgrade progression, but many report game-breaking bugs like enemies randomly speeding up or the attack button failing mid-match. The dark color scheme makes it hard to see, and achievements can be earned by leaving the game idle.
