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, retro arcade shooter with relentless bullet patterns and challenging boss fights that demand quick reflexes.

What players say

Players praise the faithful arcade port of a Psikyo classic, with six unique planes and bosses that transform into robots. Some report no native keyboard support and alt-tab breaking the game, while others note the game is getting delisted. It is often called beginner-friendly with seven difficulty levels.
