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 fast-paced arcade shooter that feels like a faithful recreation of a classic late 80s handheld game.

What players say

Players praise the faithful Game Boy aesthetic, simple pick-up-and-play design, and catchy music. Some report a glitch where the bomb sometimes fails to work, and others find the gameplay too plain and lacking tension.
