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

You play as a rampaging T-Rex in a city, blasting everything with guns in a fast, chaotic arcade-style rampage.

What players say

Players call it a mindless, short arcade sidescroller where you destroy and eat as a T-Rex, with 32 levels and boss fights. The challenge is low and repetition sets in, though the ability to breathe fire and use weapons adds variety. Nostalgia for earlier web versions is a draw.
