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 frantic side-scrolling shooter where you fight endless waves of grotesque monsters, calling in airdrops for tactical advantage while unlocking silly hats for upgrades.

What players say

Players overwhelmingly compare it to a free flash game, citing one level, three enemy types, and limited replay value. Controls feel slow and inaccurate, and ammo scarcity leads to unwinnable situations. A few find nostalgic charm in its simplicity and cheap price.
