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, smooth, and addictive loop of blasting alien hordes, collecting scrap, and upgrading your ship into an unstoppable force.

What players say

Players enjoy the floaty, responsive ship physics and the fact that wins are achievable without grinding for upgrades, but many criticize the drop pool for diluting with useless options as you unlock more, making runs feel random and frustrating. The game is seen as a solid but lightweight take on the genre, with some frame drops in endless mode and comparisons to Brotato or Vampire Survivors.
