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 methodical puzzle game where every bullet must count against a stark black-and-white backdrop

What players say

Players enjoy the satisfying physics of ricocheting a single bullet to kill all enemies, but find the later levels require pixel-perfect precision that can be frustrating. The game is seen as a faithful revival of an old Flash game, though some wish for a level editor and note the difficulty spikes sharply around level 65.
