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 hectic, skill-driven co-op bullet hell where you and dozens of others dodge alien fire in fast 2D platforming combat.

What players say

Players describe StarBreak as a skill-based bullet hell platformer with permanent death that can be highly addictive. Many say the game has been abandoned with no new content, leaving a small dedicated community and a reliance on botters. Opinions split on the free-to-play cash shop.
