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 short, breezy arcade loop of gathering stars and dodging asteroids, with a simple, relaxed feel despite potentially intense hardware demands.

What players say

Players describe a free endless runner where your cursor acts like a black hole, attracting both space dust and asteroids. Runs last about a minute, and the game has only one achievement, making it a quick completion but shallow for long-term play.
