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 frantic yet lighthearted arena shooter where you pilot a cute poop character, dodging waves of bacteria while juggling weapon combos in a cartoonish, bullet-hell chaos.

What players say

Players call POOBO a Brotato clone with a poop theme. They praise the music and character variety, but many note that weapon balance is off, movement feels sluggish, and the early access version only has a few levels.
