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.

What players say

Players enjoy the blend of 2048 merging with tower defense, praising its addictive pace and pixel art. Some find unit merging frustrating due to randomness, while others appreciate the strategic depth of evolving units. Reviews note infinite mode as a strong addition, and a few mention the game is a good casual time killer.
