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 bullet hell where quick reflexes and strategic upgrades are the keys to surviving ever-escalating alien waves.

What players say

Players praise the music and art style, but many find the early game brutally difficult, especially starting with only a cat as a weapon. Progress comes from grinding shop upgrades and unlocking new characters, and the developer is praised for patching out early imbalance. Opinions split on whether the grind feels rewarding or just slow.
