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 brisk, nostalgic arcade shooter with crisp pixel visuals and a steady difficulty curve that welcomes newcomers while rewarding precision.

What players say

Players describe it as a very hard arcade-style shooter that demands level memorization and precision. Key mechanics include a speed control button and losing all powerups when you die, and reviewers note that bombs are scarce and there is no way to reset a run from the pause menu.
