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 breezy, neon-lit top-down shooter where you and up to three friends blast through procedurally generated levels with cute cartoon robots.

What players say

Players enjoy this as a multiplayer top-down shooter with both a story and an arcade mode. The controls are solid, the art and music are praised, and some compare the arcade mode to games like Nuclear Throne. It supports up to four players locally or via remote play.
