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 rapid, physics-based top-down shooter that blends arcade combat with deep modding and online competition.

What players say

Players praise the game's unique swarm-based combat and physics-driven movement, calling it a worthy successor to Swarm Arena that expands with extensive modding tools and multiplayer modes. The controls are smooth but demand practice, and many recommend using a controller over keyboard. The narrator Bot-7 gets frequent mentions for its humor.
