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 arcade shooter with strategic charge mechanics that balances accessibility for casual players and depth for hardcore enthusiasts.

What players say

Players praise the game as a faithful port of the 1997 arcade original, with eight stages and a variety of WW2 planes each having distinct attacks and specials. It is very difficult, and the charge-shot mechanic is divisive: saving up three levels is powerful but rarely usable, leaving some frustrated that it replaced the first game's more flexible system.
