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 vertical shooter with colorful arcade visuals, where you continuously power up to fight through waves of enemies and bosses.

What players say

Players praise the 4K graphics and 120 FPS, and enjoy collecting super powers that change how they fight. But some report long load times, poor ship visibility, and a bizarre mechanic where enemy ships push the player around instead of being destroyed on contact.
