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 fast-paced side-scroller with retro pixel art and intense arcade action.

What players say

Players love the authentic arcade-style pixel art and fan service, but nearly everyone agrees the story mode is very short, around one hour, and the asking price is too high. Fans of classic run-and-gun games like Metal Slug tend to enjoy the replay loop, while others find the gameplay shallow and repetitive.
