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 frantic, skill-testing rush where you dodge relentless projectile patterns and manage stamina to survive fragile but customizable battles.

What players say

Players love the creative boss designs and soundtrack, but the auto-lock is finnicky and firing rapidly can hurt your thumb. It is a two-hit-kill boss rush that gets much better after the first few fights, and the DLC adds the most polished content.
