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 tense, rhythm-driven gauntlet of colorful squares that demands precise timing and hand-eye coordination.

What players say

Players are split on whether Bullets Squared counts as a rhythm game. Many note the absence of a judge line means you shoot blocks whenever you can, not to the music. A sharp difficulty spike after the first level and a slow turret turn rate frustrate some, while others praise it as a challenging hand-eye coordination trainer that is free and works.
