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.

A straightforward arcade flight experience where you chase enemy bombers across small maps with simple controls and escalating difficulty.

What players say

Players call this a simple arcade game that feels like a mobile port. Many note repetitive levels that only scale enemy health, weak hitboxes, and coins with nothing to spend them on. A few enjoy the old-school browser game feel and easy pick-up-and-play style.
