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.

What players say

Players describe it as a Space Invaders clone with flashy neon visuals and a pumping soundtrack, but opinions split on the challenge. Many find the difficulty cheap, especially at level 22, which multiple reviewers say the developer acknowledged as too hard. Others enjoy the simple arcade rush despite the screen clutter.
