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 colorful, fast-paced arcade flight simulator where you blast through procedurally generated islands with a fwooshy feel, knowing one mistake means permanent death.

What players say

Players praise Sky Rogue as the only roguelite arcade flight game around, with tight dogfights and dynamic music. Support for split-screen co-op and mods adds replay value, but the controls are hard with mouse and keyboard and the final boss has an unfair one-shot attack.
