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 quick, punchy arcade action game that feels like a straightforward indie labor of love.

What players say

A cheap, short arcade shooter that players compare to smarter Asteroids. The drifting controls take practice but feel natural after a while, and each of the four tanks handles and shoots differently. The main goal is chasing high scores, including the developer's own. Players agree it is worth a dollar but not much more.
