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 bullet hell where you trap enemies with void balls while dodging and blocking projectiles, feeling like a chaotic dance of destruction.

What players say

Players praise the unique Qix-inspired mechanic of encircling enemies with void orbs, but many find the difficulty frustrating and the early grind for orbs tedious, with untelegraphed enemy attacks.
