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 arcade shooter where you dodge and smash ships with a dust trail, accompanied by electronic beats.

What players say

Players describe Massive Effect as a simple two-mode arcade shooter with a control scheme where left click moves and right click shoots. A persistent menu bug makes the Retry button always activate, and some find the speed too fast and the controls frustrating, while others enjoy it as a challenging time-waster.
