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 mix of dodging bullets and repositioning defenses in a high-stakes space battle.

What players say

Players enjoy the arcade space setting and variety of weapons, but they are split on depth and balance. Many say the build variety feels shallow after a few hours, with some upgrades being obviously stronger, and the difficulty can spike sharply.
