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 arcade shoot-'em-up where you pilot a fighter jet through intense bullet-hell combat, all presented with retro pixel art.

What players say

Players say it's a beginner-friendly shmup with generous resources and a forgiving difficulty, but split on the lackluster music, poor bullet visibility, and no ending. Some report the game has been abandoned, with updates stalled.
