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 breezy, charming pixel-art shooter where you fly on a broomstick through spooky but not scary Halloween levels.

What players say

Players describe a short, free shmup with cute pixel art where cats serve as lives. The game is easy on normal but can feel slow due to sparse enemy waves and bullet-sponge bosses. Some note that upgrades max out early, while others recommend hard mode for a challenge.
