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

It feels like a frantic, strategy-driven romp through a colorful space station where you juggle energy resources to unleash powerful skill combos against robot hordes.

What players say

Players praise the chip and energy system that fuels skills, but note slippery platforming, a slow start before builds come together, and rough visuals. The spaceship minigame is a highlight, though the early boss can frustrate. There are no auto-pickup and limited tutorials.
