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 but approachable VR bullet hell where you dodge colorful retro waves and grab goofy power-ups, with the option to relax on easy mode.

What players say

Players praise it as a polished VR adaptation of the mobile game, comparing it favorably to The Lab's Xortex minigame. The campaign is short with only 5 levels, but three difficulty levels, unlockable pilots, and creative power-ups provide replay value. A few call it bare bones compared to other VR shooters, but most find it fun for the price.
