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 fast-paced action roguelike where you craft and detonate an array of creative bombs to defeat monsters and summon bosses.

What players say

Players say it is a survivors-like where every weapon is a bomb, creating unique builds and combos. There is a lot of permanent progression outside runs, but the sound and hit feedback are weak. A bug where enemies do not spawn on some stages has gone unfixed for months, and bosses are tedious to fight.
