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 frantic, two-button arcade shooter where you constantly spin and gun at waves of enemies, feeling both exhilarating and punishing.

What players say

Players are split on the controls, which use only two buttons for thrust and shooting, making movement feel intentionally awkward. Some find it frustrating and unresponsive, while others say mastery is rewarding and addictive. The game has good replay value through multiple modes and achievement hunting, but some mention RNG spawning issues and performance problems.
