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 cozy retro space shooter where you team up with others to upgrade your ship and blast through hordes of enemies.

What players say

Players are nostalgic for the Flash-era original but say the Steam version suffers from frequent disconnects and lag, making it nearly unplayable at times. Opinions are split on the monetization: some tolerate the grind as a free game, while others call it pay to win with a predatory cash shop.
