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-paced arcade shooter where each run changes conditions randomly, encouraging quick reflexes and survival.

What players say

Players enjoy this as a cheap, casual twin-stick shooter with a one-more-run feel. Some praise the controls and voxel art, but others note it gets repetitive and lacks controller support.
