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

An old-school bullet hell shooter with fast action and a rock soundtrack, rewarding close calls with enemy fire.

What players say

Players praise the soundtrack and the challenging campaign, which runs about 45 minutes. The game borrows from Ikaruga and Gradius and has full voice acting. Criticism includes a large hitbox and an uncapped framerate that strains the GPU.
