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, cartoonish space shooter with over-the-top powerups and a goofy premise that feels like a high-energy arcade blast from the 90s.

What players say

Players call this a nostalgic arcade shooter that is easy to pick up for short bursts. The humor is silly but not offensive, and the game supports full controller play. A few note the challenge of screen-wrapping collisions and a high-speed enemy that spawns if you stand still.
