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, absurdly high-energy top-down shooter where you chug soda for power-ups and blast aliens with pixelated chaos.

What players say

Players are sharply split: many condemn the late disclosure of AI use for voice acting and concept art, with some also reporting controller problems and a dangerous GPU spike at the start screen. Fans praise the pixel art, the combat combos, and the soda-themed aesthetic, but note that runs are short, easy, and get repetitive after a few planets.
