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 twin-stick shooter where you mow down waves of enemies with rapid-fire guns and special abilities, escalating in challenge as you fight to escape.

What players say

Players say it is a solid twin-stick shooter with a good soundtrack and a difficulty ramp that feels fair, though the ship's elastic movement takes some getting used to. A few note the lack of unlocks or progression limits replay value.
