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 relentless, fast-paced arcade shoot 'em up that demands precise dodging and memorization through colorful bullet patterns.

What players say

Players praise the soundtrack and visual style, but many find the lack of a vertical tate mode makes the horizontal screen unplayable. Complaints target unclear feedback, cluttered visuals, unavoidable attacks, and missing controller support, leading to a split between fans and those who find it poorly designed.
