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 relentless retro arcade shooter with frantic action, swarming enemies, and constant explosions that demands quick reflexes and pattern recognition.

What players say

Player reviews are split: while many enjoy the polished retro feel and interesting power-up system, a consistent complaint is that bullets are hard to see against the fast-scrolling, saturated backgrounds. A few also say the hitboxes feel unfair, though bombs are overpowered.
