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 hectic, reflex-driven arcade shooter where you must frantically dodge and destroy procedurally generated alien waves to protect Earth.

What players say

Players call it a satisfying throwback to arcade shooters like Galaga and Space Invaders, with tight controls and an upgrade system. They note the fully voiced banter and colorful style as standout features.
