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, arcade-style bullet-hell shooter where you dodge enemy fire, customize your ship, and blast through alien hordes in local co-op.

What players say

Players praise the customizable ship and cool boss designs, but many complain that the background and color palette make bullets hard to see. Difficulty is challenging yet forgiving with no continue limit, though controller configuration is limited and some find the game generic among shoot-em-ups.
