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 brisk retro shooter where you upgrade a tiny plane and blast through waves of enemies and bosses in pixel art stages.

What players say

Players describe Cannonship as a short horizontal shoot 'em up that takes under an hour to beat, with ship upgrades between stages and a two-player co-op mode. Some find the ship underpowered and health scarce, while others call it fun but not too difficult. The game is a port from iOS and Android with no major new content.
