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 chaotic, fast-paced celebration of retro arcade action where you scramble for loot and adapt on the fly in beefy, colorful bullet-hell mayhem.

What players say

Players compare the stage-based structure to Mario Bros 3, with objectives and a world map setting it apart from the usual auto-battler. The difficulty spikes late-game and can cause rage quits, and the Game Boy Color pixel art and chiptune soundtrack are consistently praised.
