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 chaotic yet lighthearted bullet-hell with a hand-drawn look, where fast swordplay and quirky mechanical combos create a frantic but casual combat loop.

What players say

Players praise the unique flying-sword combat and bouncy enemies, but many criticize counter-intuitive design choices like floating coins that vanish, a black health bar, and limited viable weapon builds. A single negative review calls it 'trash' but is poorly substantiated.
