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 fast-paced, minimalist bullet hell where you build a custom ship each run while dodging patterns to a trance beat.

What players say

Players like the roguelike twist on a vertical shmup, with random stage and boss layouts making each run feel fresh despite limited enemy patterns. They praise the build variety from upgrade choices, but warn that poor visibility, especially with default colors, and a steep difficulty spike for the final unlockable ship frustrate many, though updates improved some readability.
