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 hectic, pixelated arena shooter where players ricochet shots while frantically dodging bullets in procedurally generated rooms.

What players say

Players dig the tactical ricochet shooting and randomized runs, but warn that enemy aim is brutally fast. Co-op alleviates the chaos, and the built-in level editor adds lasting value. Reviews are split on controller support and the unfinished early-access state.
