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 relentless, arcade-style shoot 'em up with handcrafted pixel art and a straightforward revenge story.

What players say

Players describe it as a competent but derivative vertical shmup with a steampunk theme, humorous writing, and a short one-hour campaign. The color palette makes enemy bullets hard to see, and controls cannot be rebound. Some find it too difficult on later levels, while others call it accessible for newcomers.
