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 classic arcade shooter that feels intense and methodical as you focus on surviving and climbing the leaderboards.

What players say

Players see tranceWave NEO as a free, straightforward arcade twin-stick shooter that is fun for short sessions. Opinion on the soundtrack is divided: some find it great, others say it hurts the ears. The game lacks achievements and Chinese language support, and is often called a proof of concept rather than a full release.
