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 blistering arcade shooter with neon pixel visuals and relentless enemy swarms, demanding quick reflexes and rewarding score chasing.

What players say

Players praise the dimension-switching mechanic that makes you track two layers at once, comparing it to Ikaruga but distinct in practice. The checkpoint-based story mode is seen as forgiving, while the arcade mode on max difficulty remains uncleared by anyone. Some note that enemies can spawn at the edges and that the screen scroll speed varies with ship position.
