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 faithful remaster of a classic underwater shoot-'em-up that combines fast-paced arcade action with strategic shop upgrades, evoking nostalgia and tight reflexes.

What players say

Players say this is a faithful remaster of the 1990 Amiga shoot-'em-up with a remixed soundtrack by Chris Hülsbeck. They are split on the difficulty: some appreciate the challenge, while others criticize the one-hit deaths, lack of continues and lives, and call it lacking quality-of-life features.
