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 lighthearted arcade shooter where you dodge and blast through hordes of aliens in simple top-down stages.

What players say

Players describe Alien Wars as a top-down shooter with charming, funny artwork and a difficulty that kicked their asses. Many praise the developer for adding an easy mode after launch, but some still find the aiming awkward and the lack of checkpoints frustrating.
