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.

About

S Lanes is a fast-paced one-button game. You are constantly moving between the four lanes on the left side of the screen. Your goal is to shoot enemies that are coming from the right to keep them from reaching the lanes. Hold a button to shoot and to move forward towards the enemies. Collect the coins that enemies drop after you destroy them to score points. The game is over when any enemy reaches any of the lanes.
