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 space shooter with intense bullet-hell action and vehicular combat.

What players say

A simple retro-style space shooter with a large selection of ships and weapons. Players are split: some praise the variety and call it a fun time-waster, while others point out there is no sound, the pacing is too slow, and keyboard controls cannot be remapped. Several say it feels like a first project that should be free.
