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 with dense bullet patterns and chaotic cooperative action.

What players say

Players praise this as a faithful PC port of a classic arcade shooter, with a new translation, arrange mode, and ongoing patches. However, it requires an internet connection to play and has no offline mode, which frustrated some. The scoring revolves around grazing bullets, and the tiny hitbox makes it tougher than it looks.
