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 twin-stick shooter where you blast asteroids and enemies to survive and rack up a high score in cold space.

What players say

Players are split on Blastercell. Some enjoy it as a cheap, addictive arcade shooter with score chasing, while others find the controls sluggish and unresponsive. In VR, it is widely considered a 2D game displayed in a headset rather than true VR, which disappoints buyers expecting more.
