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 breezy, nostalgic arcade shoot-em-up with a steampunk skin and a heartfelt tribute theme, feeling more like a gentle homage than a tense battle.

What players say

Players describe it as a shallow sidescroller, comparing it to Flappy Bird or Jetpack Joyride, with one song on repeat and pixelated backgrounds. It is a tribute to women aviation pioneers, but many found the gameplay boring and unchallenging.
