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 lively and frantic arcade survival game that pushes you to chase high scores with randomized levels and escalating speed.

What players say

Players are split: some call it a fun hardcore survival arkanoid with random levels and a leaderboard drive, while others dismiss it as a messy Russian shovelware ripoff. The chaotic screen and relentless pace divide opinion.
