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 quick, no-fuss arcade fix that feels like grabbing a bite while waiting for pizza—simple, retro, and easy to jump into for a short burst.

What players say
Players call it a simple retro shooter that channels River Raid. It demands short play sessions because the difficulty spikes, with checkpoints providing natural stopping points. Some note frustration with checkpoint progress, but most enjoy the challenge.
