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

Fast-paced arcade mecha combat in space with frenetic dogfights and missile barrages.

What players say

Players compare it to Macross and Robotech, praising the combat and flight model but split on the keyboard-only controls. Some note the game feels like a 2007 Flash game brought up to date, with a Star Fox 2-style grid map and random events. Many complain about missing English text and controller support, while long-time fans celebrate it as a childhood favorite.
