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 casual, fast-paced bullet hell shooter with a humorous story about a pilot who just wants to get paid while blowing up endless enemies in space.

What players say

Players describe SpaceMerc as a simple vertical shooter that stands out for its weapon purchasing system and six difficulty levels that can turn it into a true bullet hell. Opinion is split on whether it is a sincere indie effort or clunky and overpriced.
