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 frantic, retro-inspired shoot-em-up with relentless bullet-dodging and challenging boss battles.

What players say

Players say Super Mega Bob is a deceptively difficult twin-stick shooter with a cute exterior, a deep upgrade system, and hats. Controls are simple and responsive but lack native controller support, and some find the interface crude. There is a known save-file bug that can delete progress, with developer support for it stalled.
