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, minimalist arcade shooter where you combine colorful items to survive increasingly tough enemy waves.

What players say

Players praise the smooth controls and addictive action, but many are frustrated by unexplained combination mechanics, useless power-ups with no reroll, and lack of controller support. The difficulty is high, with some saying beating the game requires extreme luck or skill.
