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 fast-paced, challenging arcade game that feels like a chaotic but amusing tribute to 80s classics, best played with a friend.

What players say

Players call it a solid retro mashup of Pac-Man and Battle City, with shooting and bombs. The difficulty spikes noticeably after phase 8 and there are 30 phases with no checkpoints, which some find frustrating. The co-op mode is chaotic fun, but the lack of modes and continues makes it feel repetitive in longer sessions.
