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 dive into quick, top-down combat against waves of enemies, frantically collecting upgrades and dodging projectiles as the pressure mounts every minute.

What players say

Players are split. Some enjoy the challenge and the 24 unlockable heroes, but many find it too slow and confusing at first, with a frustrating mouse-only movement and bugs like negative gold or a game-breaking overpowered state.
