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, chaotic arcade shooter where you control a cat defending an apartment from waves of cartoonish pests.

What players say

Players say this is a very short 2D shooter that can be beaten in under an hour. The main challenge is a strict time limit that doesn't pause between levels, which some find frustrating. Players recommend upgrading multi-shot first for better accuracy.
