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

Frantic and precise space duels where ricocheting projectiles and unforgiving icy asteroids create explosive moments of both triumph and disaster.

What players say

Players praise the clean arcade feel and responsive controls, especially in local co-op, but many say it gets boring quickly solo and lacks depth. Some find the controls awkward with no remapping, and opinions are split on whether the difficulty is rewarding or frustrating.
