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 fast-paced retro arcade shooter where you blast through waves of enemies and obstacles in space.

What players say

Players say this retro space shooter starts slow but gets more intense as it goes. The first level is easy, but later levels demand quick reflexes. There is a shield that breaks after one hit, and the ship slows down as it takes damage. Players appreciate that one developer made it in two months.
