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 arcade shooter where you must dodge bullet hell patterns while quickly typing pop culture phrases to trigger screen-clearing laser attacks.

What players say
Players like the mashup of typing and bullet hell, but they are split on the controls: typing keys also move your ship and that can steer you into fire. The game is very short, three waves taking minutes, and the pool of movie quotes to type feels small with frequent repeats. Autofire and lack of manual shooting disappoint some.
