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, retro-styled side-scrolling beat-em-up where you swap between quirky ninjas and yokai, blasting through ghost hordes in chaotic local co-op.

What players say

Players call it a fun but tough arcade action game in the style of Bubble Bobble. It is stuffed with unlockable characters and modes, and the soundtrack gets special praise. Some find the camera and certain gimmick characters frustrating, while others love the sheer amount of content and replay value.
