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 colorful, retro-inspired arcade shooter where you pilot a spaceship through alien worlds, frantically dodging bullets and swapping weapons.

What players say

Players agree the early escort mission ruins the fun, and many call the controls clunky while enemy projectiles move too fast. The weapon selection feels thin, the art style gets some praise, but the overall design pushes players toward better shoot-em-ups.
