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 lighthearted, colorful real-time strategy game with silly humor and cartoon visuals, where you command squads and heroes through varied sci-fi missions at a brisk pace.

What players say

Players call it a light RTS that blends tower defense with StarCraft-style point capture. Controls can frustrate some, and the final mech units look goofy, but heroes like Wind Blade and Free Hunter stand out. There is disagreement on difficulty: some find it well-balanced, others say escort missions and health bars drag things out.
