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.

A crisp, fast-paced gauntlet of alien waves demanding focused reflexes and risk-reward decisions.

What players say

Players praise the faithful Galaga port and its addictive loop, but many call out poor controller support and screen scaling. A few note audio feels off or need to force v-sync for smooth play.
