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 breezy vertical shooter with unlimited retries, where you rescue cute creatures across a few short levels.

What players say

players like the cute puzzle-shmup twist with blocking bullets, but find controls rough and wish for controller support. It is short (around half an hour in story mode) with three levels and a second loop, and difficulty compares to Touhou on Normal.
