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 blisteringly fast arcade challenge that demands pinpoint precision and punishes even a single mistake, yet its brief rounds make failure feel instantly replayable.

What players say

Players control two ships at once, one with WASD and the other with arrow keys, to dodge obstacles. They say the game is challenging and rhythmic, but some find it grows repetitive quickly. Several note the lack of fullscreen and controller support.
