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.

What players say

Players describe Space Drift Squad as a bare-bones asteroids game where you defend Earth by rotating in place and shooting waves of rocks. There are no levels, only an endless mode and a defend mode with few boss types. Local co-op for up to four players is the main draw, though the music grates and content is thin.
