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, arcade-style space shooter with a minimalist roguelite twist where you blast through procedurally generated asteroids and upgrade your ship on the fly.

What players say

Players describe Rogue Rocks as a straightforward Asteroids clone with a roguelike upgrade system that feels underdeveloped. The gamepad controls are widely criticized as unplayable due to poor analog mapping, and runs often end abruptly from asteroids that appear off-screen.
