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

It feels like a fast-paced, colorful arcade shooter with a cute comic-book aesthetic and linear on-rails flight action.

What players say

Players compare Astrodogs to Star Fox, praising its colorful art style and charm but split on the controls. Some find them loose or unresponsive, especially with a mouse, while others say an update improved them. A common complaint is the busy screen and unclear attacks, with the crab boss singled out. The game is short and voice-acted, with an instinct slow-motion mechanic.
