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 fast-paced, nostalgic revamp of a classic indie shoot 'em up with updated visuals and modern gameplay.

What players say

Players deeply nostalgic for the original Platypus from the early 2000s praise this remake's claymation art and extra content, which includes the full original 2004 game and community workshop levels. The campaign is short at five levels, and some find power-ups too brief and limited, making the game feel tedious on longer stages.
