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
Feels like an old-school arcade shooter with authentic 8-bit graphics and sound, where rapid reflexes and score chasing drive the action.

What players say
Players call it a genuine Famicom-style shmup that wears its Compile influences (Aleste, Zanac) proudly. It is seen as approachable with great music, but several reviewers warn that accidentally grabbing a weak weapon can make sections nearly impossible, and death resets your power to near zero.
