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 frenetic twin-stick shooter where you rapidly grow more powerful while blasting through waves of colorful enemies in a collapsing universe.

What players say

Players praise the particle-heavy visual feedback and satisfying audio, drawing comparisons to Geometry Wars. The upgrade system and gradual difficulty curve give the short campaign good replayability, and the game works well with keyboard and mouse, not only controllers.
