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, chaotic twin-stick shooter where you play as cute armed birds, balancing greed against risk as you blast through colorful mutants and creepy creatures.

What players say

Players say it starts hard but becomes fast and fun. The lack of metaprogression disappoints some, and opinions split on depth: a few call it a shallow clone of Nuclear Throne, while others enjoy the daily run and breaking the game with loops.
