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 bullet-hell shooter where every shot must be carefully aimed to ricochet off walls, demanding precision and pattern memorization.

What players say

Players call it a Galaga-style shooter where shots bounce diagonally off walls, adding a tactical twist. It is short, with 5 levels and bosses, no saves or checkpoints, and a hidden level. Some find movement too slow and wish for autofire, while others enjoy the chill challenge.
