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 side-scrolling shooter demanding precise dodging and quick reflexes through dense bullet patterns.

What players say

Players praise the core gimmick of steering a secondary weapon with movement, calling it elegant and genre-changing. The OP edition shifts focus from dodging to aggressive bullet-cancelling. A few note the lack of keyboard key rebinding as a flaw.
