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 demanding arcade twin-stick shooter where you simultaneously control a flower and wasp through a surreal ecosystem, focusing on score attack and mastery under pressure.

What players say
Players praise its unique dual-character mechanics and psychedelic art, but many report severe performance problems even on high-end hardware. The game is brutally hard and the chaotic visuals make it hard to parse, though the flow becomes satisfying once the controls click.
