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 fast, customizable bullet-hell shooter where you dodge hundreds of enemy ships in short, intense arcade-style runs.

What players say

Players praise the pixel art and music, but many say the game is extremely short and easy, with some finishing it in under two hours. Opinion is split on whether the simplicity is a return to arcade purity or just dull.
