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, retro arcade shooter with pixel art and chiptune music, offering challenging and varied levels.

What players say

Players call it a faithful Space Invaders-style fixed shooter with distinct enemies, bosses, and a chiptune soundtrack. Reviews split on whether the lack of autofire and save progress is a welcome retro challenge or a missing accessibility option.
