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, colorful bullet hell where you dodge endless waves of cute monsters while planning upgrade paths.

What players say

Players love the cute pixel art and the novelty of random upgrade slots that can make attacks cover the whole screen, but the fun crashes when the game does. Progression is a slog: unlocking characters costs tens of thousands of coins, while a 13-minute run only yields about a thousand. Many feel forced to grind the same single stage with boring debuffs, and the repeated runs wear thin fast.
