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 and unforgiving arcade platformer where you weave through alien hordes in tight, randomized single-screen levels.

What players say

Players call this a solid arcade roguelite that feels like a tribute to Super Crate Box, but opinions split sharply. It is praised for tight single-screen action with distinct weapons and chaotic coop, yet many warn the PC version has framerate problems tied to its GameMaker engine, and others find the inability to shoot upward limiting.
