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 fast, hypnotic arcade blast with responsive difficulty and old-school neon visuals.

What players say

Players praise it as a fast-paced Robotron-inspired twin-stick shooter with a strong neon look, but many complain the visuals are so busy it is hard to see enemies and bullets. Some applaud that it has a proper ending instead of being infinite, while others call the difficulty artificial.
