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 relentless, high-octane arcade rush where you mow down waves of colorful polygons with an absurdly powerful laser, shifting from chill to hyper-intense action.

What players say

Players praise the clever short-range laser mechanic and the procedurally generated visuals that keep the screen readable through chaos. Many compare it favorably to Geometry Wars, but note the game has only two modes and is best picked up on sale.
