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

The game feels like a quick, strategic arcade blast where you build crazy weapon combos in a chaotic bullet-hell space fight.

What players say

Players praise the blend of shoot-em-up and survivors gameplay but note there are only three stages and unlocks come slowly. The third level is a difficulty spike that forces optimized builds. Some players find repetition creeps in after a few hours, though the low price and performance on Steam Deck are frequently mentioned positives.
