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 frantic arcade shooter where you chain weapon combos and bunnyhop through arenas full of reactive enemies.

What players say

Players love the bunnyhopping and movement mechanics, but split on the floaty feel. Combat demands constant motion to recharge energy for weapons, and the game forces you to use everything in your arsenal. It gets tough after the early levels, and some find the base movement speed frustratingly slow.
