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 cute but relentlessly challenging side-scrolling shooter with a driving techno-trance soundtrack and smooth bullet-hell action.

What players say

Players say this is a fast side-scrolling bullet hell where an automatic lock-on lets you focus on dodging. It is very hard even on easy, and the music is a highlight. Some are frustrated by how the game pushes you to blitz bosses since there is no healing, and a few report crashes on startup.
