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 satisfying, fast-paced arcade shooter where you casually blast through waves of cartoon balls and bosses with simple controls.

What players say

Players warn that upgrades make the cannon weaker rather than stronger, and the demo footage is misleading. Enemy health ramps up sharply, stages cannot be replayed, and grinding special resources feels tedious.
