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 fast-paced vertical-scrolling arcade shooter where you power up and fight through waves of enemies to liberate planets.

What players say

Players widely agree that Asteroid Forward is a mobile game ported to PC, with aggressive microtransactions and a battle pass that ruin the experience. Some find it fun as a short arcade game, but many criticize the pay-to-win design and unfinished UI.
