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, difficult arcade shoot-'em-up with 80s pixel graphics and retro sci-fi atmosphere.

What players say

Star Tank is an ultra-challenging arcade shooter that mixes Galaga with a rail shooter aiming mechanic. Players split on controls: keyboard is considered bad, controller is recommended, but there is no mouse support. The game has no save or continues, forcing players to master its 20 stages in a single session. Some find it too punishing for modern tastes, while others love its retro difficulty.
