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 frantic, arcade-style shoot-'em-up where you blast through wave after wave of bizarre underwater enemies with an ever-changing challenge.

What players say

Players say it is a challenging top-down shooter with a huge amount of content, including local multiplayer and procedural campaigns. Some find the first boss far too hard, and a reviewer notes the power-up letters are confusing without any in-game info.
