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 retro shoot 'em up that feels fast and arcade-like, with a focus on buzzing action.

What players say

Players say this remake of the Amiga shmup keeps the original's tough challenge, though optional settings for respawns and weapon retention make it more approachable. Fans praise the redrawn pixel art and reworked Chris Hülsbeck soundtrack, but some wish for higher resolution and note minor interface bugs.
