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 frenetic side-scrolling shoot-'em-up where you pilot a spaceship through planets, blasting enemies alone or with a friend on the same screen.

What players say

Players report the game is a short, repetitive side-scrolling shooter with no background music and broken achievements. Many call it an asset flip from a known developer, with poor sound and no leaderboard, though a few find it relaxing for a low price.
