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 where you dodge enemy fire, collect upgrades, and gradually power up your ships through persistent meta-progression.

What players say

Players find the bullet hell fun but repetitive, with too few enemy types and upgrades. The shield has a bug where it stops regenerating, and some enemy death bullets feel unfair in longer runs.
