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.

About

BitPew is a fast-paced retro arcade shooter inspired by classic handheld action. Take control of a robot head equipped with a vertical turret and put your memory and reflexes to the test. A faded silhouette of one of five enemy types slowly descends from the top of the screen. Watch carefully, identify the shape, and shoot the matching enemy before it reaches the bottom. Every mistake costs a life, and once they’re gone, it’s game over. With simple controls, chunky pixel graphics, and intense score-chasing gameplay, BitPew delivers a focused arcade experience where every shot matters.
