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 and whimsical pixel-art bullet-hell romp where you dodge projectiles as a tiny wizard shrimp, upgrading through procedurally generated levels.

What players say

Players love the charm and humor, calling it a fun roguelite that is easy to pick up. They are split on replayability: some say it stays fun while others feel enemy variety is low and runs get too easy. A common minor complaint is the tile-placing phase, which some find annoying or even a sensory nightmare.
