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 arena duel where you craft unique bullet patterns on the fly to outwit and overwhelm opponents.

What players say

Players love creating their own bullet patterns but warn that the multiplayer is empty. The short story mode shuffles the same few character models. Some compare the loop of crafting and dueling to Custom Robo.
