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.

A nostalgic, fast-paced arcade shooter where you dodge enemy fire while battling bosses in vertical-scrolling stages.

What players say

Players describe Brother Wings as a very simple, repetitive vertical shooter with only two enemy types and one map, making it feel like a basic coding project or mobile game. Many also complain it feels overpriced for the content, noting it was likely made for trading card farming, but a few find it a decent casual time-killer with good music.
