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 minimalist retro incremental game where you dodge relentless bullets and upgrade abilities to survive a tense five-minute run.

What players say

Players call Minutescape a cheap but weak incremental whose slow start and repetitive ending hold it back. Some praise the creative theming and ideas, but many find the pacing off: a tough climb to 2.5 minutes, then a quick victory followed by a tedious achievement grind.
