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 arcade shooter that feels like a polished, modern revival of a classic, with escalating enemy threats and satisfying laser upgrades.

What players say

Players call it a solid but imperfect update to the original 1979 game, offering both a classic mode and a modern mode with weapon upgrades. Many complain about the forced 4:3 display, imprecise aiming, and a drift that prevents stopping entirely. A few note it cannot be played offline.
