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 nostalgic, fast-paced arcade shooter with a lighthearted cooperative spirit and a punishing difficulty.

What players say

Players call it a solid Ikari Warriors-style run and gun that controls better than the original, with colorful graphics and good music. They are split on pace: some find the shots and movement too slow, while others appreciate the challenge. The game is short, about one hour, with a generous credit system that makes it forgiving.
