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 quirky, fast-paced 2D shoot-'em-up where you dodge bullets and fly through stages, with a low-budget charm from hand-drawn Excel animations and voice-recorded sound effects.

What players say

Players praise the quirky sound design and music that changes on each death, calling it addictive despite its rough visuals. The difficulty spikes sharply with bosses, and some want difficulty options or leaderboards.
