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, colorful arcade shooter that feels like a modern take on a retro space blaster, with simple cooperative play and constant explosions.

What players say

Players are split on this space shooter, originally called Guntech. It got a name change to URG that briefly broke the game until a 2021 quick fix. Those who enjoy it like the graphics, upgrades and speedrun potential, but a few find it dull for modern times. Work on Linux is appreciated.
