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, arcade-style anime action game where you zip through hordes of demons and ghosts, chaining combos to freeze enemies and defeat giant bosses.

What players say

Players call this a difficult retro-style shoot 'em up with cute anime art and a good soundtrack. Many note the lack of saves forces full restarts, and controls feel unresponsive during combat due to a jump animation that locks movement. Some say stages are repetitive and the game lacks the polish of its inspiration, Pocky & Rocky.
