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

frantic arcade-style action where you flip out of water, dodge missiles, and destroy helicopters with over-the-top upgrades.

What players say

Players describe a twin-stick shooter that functions as an aim trainer, demanding focus and flick shots. Opinions split on the beginning: some find it punishing, others say it starts far too slow and easy with no way to skip. Complaints mention a missing quit button, crashes, and one-hit kills from bugs.
