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 relentless old-school shoot 'em up with blistering pace, massive explosions, and a satisfying risk-reward dynamic as overpowered weapons can be lost.

What players say

Players describe a short 2D side-scrolling shooter with six levels and four upgradable weapons, but many note it requires a controller and has a fixed resolution. The pixel art and soundtrack are praised, while opinions split on whether the gameplay feels polished or merely passable.
