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 frantic, neon-drenched rhythm shooter where you blast targets synced to the beat while riding rails through a dizzying, abstract tunnel.

What players say

Players find BeatShooter challenging at first but rewarding once they get the hang of shooting and dodging. Crashes are a common complaint, though the level editor that can auto-generate levels from YouTube links is a standout feature.
