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 this turn-based 2D tank game that recalls Worms and Scorched Earth. Many like being able to adjust attack, defense, fuel, and HP stats at any time, but some find fuel runs out too fast and the game gets repetitive. A few players note missing quality-of-life features like a shot direction indicator and automatic turn switching.
