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 frantic underwater twin-stick shooter where you blast colorful bubbles as a pistol shrimp, level up between runs, and unlock new crustaceans.

What players say

Players enjoy this twin-stick roguelike where you play as a pistol shrimp collecting pearls from oysters. They praise its easy-to-learn mechanics and high replayability from many weapon and character combinations, though some note it feels unfinished and unbalanced.
