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 arcade shooter where you fly close to bullets to level up, balancing risk and reward in a high-score chase.

What players say

Players praise the addictive buzz grazing mechanic and the generous package of three games and soundtracks, but they split on the port's technical state: some call it a solid version while others report broken speed on high refresh rate monitors and non-functional online leaderboards. Stages are widely described as very short, even for a shmup, and the difficulty is considered low by some.
