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, old-school twin-stick shooter with escalating difficulty and explosive retro action.

What players say

Players describe a free retro twin-stick shooter with 28 levels and 5 bosses, reminiscent of Robotron and Legend. Local co-op for up to four players is a highlight, though mouse and keyboard controls feel clunky and a controller is recommended. Some report resolution issues on modern displays.
