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 and chaotic bullet-hell romp where you blast through hordes of monsters with silly, overpowered abilities.

What players say

Players say it is a decent game for its price, but development is done and the content is limited. Builds are varied, but the lack of a banish system makes runs feel random, and the higher difficulties spike too hard.
