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-inspired shoot'em up with light-hearted sci-fi flair and simple but deep weapon-swapping mechanics.

What players say

Players describe Spacewing War as a brief, Game Boy-styled shoot-em-up with a Kirby-like world but its own mechanics. It takes about an hour per run, has no saves and no widescreen, and unlocks extra modes after clearing it. Opinions are mixed on whether the color palettes are a fun feature or sometimes make the game hard to see.
