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-paced, retro-inspired spaceship shooter where you dodge relentless bullet patterns while collecting power-ups and upgrades to survive increasingly tough bosses.

What players say

Players say the pixel art looks amateurish and the game feels unfinished, with bugs like bosses not appearing or title screens looping. The core gameplay is fun for some, though others call it a poor Galaga clone. Sound effects are a mixed point. The game is short and may not be updated.
