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 relentless arcade bullet hell where you mow down enemies with rotor blades and overdrive invincibility in fast, chaotic combat.

What players say

Players describe frantic twin-stick shooter action where the helicopter's rotor blades are the main weapon, smashing into enemies at close range. Levels split into three missions, one mandatory and two optional, with increasing difficulty. Opinion divides on depth: some find it shallow and simplistic while others praise its lean, no-frills design. Control responsiveness gets occasional criticism.
