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 brisk, character-driven romp through platforming arenas where you bash enemies, dodge traps, and grab power-ups in quick, varied bursts of action.

About
Rapid Angel is a mix of 2D platformer and beat-'em-up, so the players will explore the levels fighting enemies, collecting power-ups and avoiding traps. While basic moves are the same for all characters (running, double-jumping, using bombs etc.), each girl has her unique fighting style with Natsumi and Ayane relying on physical attacks and Haruna using mostly distance-type magic attacks. Particular fragments of levels and story sequences are different depending on the character chosen by the player. Two more characters are unlocked after beating the game. In 2-player mode the second player controls an angel-thing that follows the first player's character aiding him along the way.
