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, retro-style shoot-'em-up with chaotic bullet-hell action and a noisy, party-like atmosphere.

What players say

Players praise the Halloween theme, chiptune soundtrack, and retro pixel art, but split on the controls: some find them smooth and responsive while others call them awkward, stiff, or poorly mapped. Bosses often feel like damage sponges and some levels are criticized as overly long or poorly designed.
