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 retro arcade shooter where you control a helicopter gunship in a desert warzone.

What players say
Players call it a faithful throwback to 1990s helicopter arcade games like LHX and Desert Strike. The controls are a common hurdle, there is no tutorial and the default keyboard layout feels awkward, but it clicks with practice. The developer, a solo creator, is praised for being responsive.
