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

Fast and snappy first-person arena shooting with retro pixel visuals, arcade pacing, and a wisecracking lead character that keeps the feel light and energetic.

What players say

Players like this cheap arena shooter for its simple, addictive horde-mode gameplay and unlockable adult art. They note the difficulty is high with lots of deaths, and that the developer stopped updating both this and its sequel over a year ago.
