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 chaotic, fast-paced arcade shooter where you mow down endless alien hordes with increasingly absurd and powerful upgrades.

What players say

Players describe it as a fun arcade bullet-hell game with a simple but satisfying upgrade system and a cute viking protagonist. It plays like a faster, space-themed Asteroids and gets challenging after wave 16, though some criticize it for reusing assets from developer Artii's earlier game TimeTekker.
