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 frantic, pixelated run 'n' gun with chaotic bullet hell combat and a goofy premise, best played with a friend on the couch.

What players say

Players are split on this free bullet-hell game. Some call it fun and challenging with good music, others criticize pixel art quality and controls. Several find it boring quickly.
