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 frantically dodge and blast waves of enemies in a minimalist, retro-styled arena, chasing high scores across varied modes.

What players say

Players consistently compare Vector Assault to Geometry Wars: Retro Evolved, calling it a less polished clone. The main criticism is that nearly all enemies simply chase the player with little variation, which leads to repetitive gameplay. Some players find the game fun in short bursts, while others dislike enemy spawns that feel luck-based.
