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

You pilot a drill shuttle plunging into an alien planet, frantically blasting endless swarms of bug-like creatures in a desperate, high-speed assault.

What players say

Players call it a hard but fair twin-stick bullet hell with a great soundtrack and pixel art. A crisis state gives a second hit before losing a life, and you cannot recover from it during later bosses. Multiple reviewers say it is easy to pick up but gets challenging quickly.
