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

You and a friend blast through waves of robot enemies aboard airships, earning money to buy better guns and fly to victory in a hectic, arcade-style shooter.

What players say

Players praise the arcade co-op shooter as a promising student project with satisfying gunplay and a great soundtrack, but nearly all note the lack of mouse and keyboard support is baffling for a PC shooter. Sentiment is split, with many calling the content short and the game unfinished while still recommending it for its potential.
