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 non-stop tower defense where you frantically build, upgrade, and equip towers while scouting the source of an endless, unrelenting assault.

What players say

Players praise the hex grid strategy and cute enemy designs, but many say the game lacks sound, music, and tooltips, making it feel unfinished, especially since the developer calls it version 1.0. Newcomers to tower defense find it easy to start, while veteran players note the late game gets chaotic.
