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 frantic and chaotic shoot-em-up where you constantly dodge falling bugs while blasting them with quick reflexes.

What players say
Players call it a worthy successor to Pang with modern polish, praising the responsive controls and variety of weapons. Many enjoy it with kids in local co-op, though some find it short and note a difficulty spike that can frustrate.
