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

Feel like a frantic arcade shooter where you must constantly recharge your gun and match polarities to survive and rack up points.

What players say

Players praise Ricky Recharge as an addictive arcade score-attack shooter with simple controls that grows more challenging. The high score chase keeps them returning, and it runs well on Steam Deck. Some find the learning curve steep, and one reviewer noted default music is very loud.
