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, colorful arcade shooter with bullet-hell chaos that feels relaxing and immediate to play.

What players say

Players enjoy this as a simple, short arcade shooter with a novel laser wire mechanic and a catchy soundtrack. The checkpoint system and roguelite upgrades make progress forgiving, but many note the gameplay gets repetitive quickly. A handful of bugs and a lack of depth divide players on its lasting appeal.
