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 fast and frantic arcade shoot-em-up with a retro side-scrolling bullet-hell feel.

What players say
Players return for the nostalgia of a claymation shooter from 2002. The mouse controls are preferred over the keyboard or gamepad. Some note the lack of a save feature between levels, but many find it short and beatable even for newcomers.
