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 fast-paced twin-stick shooter where you grind resources between runs to gradually power up your ship and survive longer in space.

What players say

Players describe this as Asteroids updated with modern roguelite upgrades, multiple modes including co-op, and a responsive developer. Some find the controls floaty or aim unclear, while others praise the crisp arcade feel and short play sessions.
