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, chaotic bullet hell where enemy attacks pulse to the beat of the music, making each run feel like a frantic dance through neon space.

What players say

Players call it a smart modern take on Space Invaders with roguelite upgrades. It is easy to pick up for short bursts but has enough meta progression to keep you coming back. Some wish it were longer.
