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.

A simple, tense arcade game where you dodge and destroy balls while trying to score points.

What players say

Players describe Zulup as a simple one-button reflex game that feels like a mobile or flash game. It is addictive for short sessions, though many say it gets repetitive quickly. There is disagreement: some call it a fun time-waster, while others call it asset-flip tier. Several players note the in-game leaderboard is barely visible and achievements do not show up on Steam profiles.
