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, arcade-style top-down shooter where you blast through gory, chaotic hordes with a customizable loadout and a sense of desperate survival.

What players say

Players praise the co-op fun and power-up variety, but nearly everyone agrees the game is very short (under an hour) and lacks content. Many say the $6 price is too high for only 3 primary weapons, a handful of levels, and no real replay value.
