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

This is a frantic, minimalist arcade shooter where you quickly swap colors to match enemies while managing a growing core and a risk-reward multiplier for high scores.

What players say

Players enjoy the arcade-style challenge, comparing it to Ikaruga for its color-switching mechanic and Super Hexagon for its intensity. The game offers a smooth difficulty curve and surprises as you progress, though some note the gamepad support issues that made a few reviewers unable to play.
