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-paced arcade shooter where you blast waves of enemies with charged cannon fire while jumping and scavenging upgrades.

What players say

Players describe it as a fun, casual wave survival game with pixel-pirate style that is easy to pick up for short sessions. Some note it needs polish around the shop island and that content is currently light.
