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 casual, light-hearted boss rush where you hold and gun through short rounds in a cute 2D style.

What players say

Players praise the charming pixel art and satisfying boss fights, but agree it is very short at under an hour. Many note the game does not explain that each character has different weapons and abilities. Reviews are split on the series: some enjoy it as a fun budget title, others warn that the many sequels feel too similar.
