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

It feels like a relentless, screen-filling bullet-hell arcade shooter where frantic blasting and frequent upgrades keep the pressure constant.

About

An unknown force in the galaxy is literally eating planets! As it travels through the galaxy, planets in its path begin to panic. A plan to nuke the anomaly goes into action - and it works, but at a cost. As it implodes, it scatters dangerous debris across the galaxy. The Time Blazers are called in for cleanup duty. You'll blast your way through dozens of levels in pulse-pounding arcade action as you fight off a seemingly infinite onslaught of space debris. Use the time warp to slow down your enemies when you become overwhelmed. Upgrade your weapons early and often so that when there are 1,000 asteroids closing in on you - you're ready!
