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 tense, fast-paced arcade style game where you protect Earth with quick reflexes and puzzle-like strategy.

What players say

Players say the game blends a puzzle block-matching mechanic with an arcade space shooter, but some find the keyboard-only controls cumbersome and wish for a tutorial or controller support.
