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, lighthearted shoot 'em up where you defend your planet with upgraded structures and a cheerful AI assistant.

What players say

Players enjoy the humorous voice acting and find the mix of active shooting with idle upgrades addictive for a few hours, but many say it runs out of content quickly and becomes a tedious grind without a satisfying payoff.
