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

Fast and chaotic local multiplayer battles with high skill demands and vibrant minimal visuals.

What players say

Players say it is a cheap, fun local-multiplayer shooter that is easy to pick up but hard to master. The custom ship and weapon combos add depth, but the lack of online multiplayer and keybinding is a common frustration. Maps feel similar, and there are no bots or training mode for solo play.
