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 deliberately tough old-school 2D shooter that demands pixel-perfect platforming and punishes mistakes, yet invites you to relax and enjoy the arcade action.

What players say

Players are sharply split on Too Angry to Space. Those who like it enjoy the simple, fast, and difficult retro action, but many others call it low quality: clunky platforming, no invincibility frames, a camera that moves with every jump, and instant-death traps that force full level replays. Multiple reviews also mention the swearing becomes annoying quickly.
