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 blast waves of cartoonish chickens in a light-hearted power trip.

What players say

Players praise this remaster of the 1999 original for its simple, engaging gameplay and nostalgic value, but some critics say it is not a faithful remake and instead reuses the engine from Chicken Invaders Universe. The waves grow repetitive after ten unique patterns, the framerate is locked at 26fps, and mouse controls are preferred for speed. A few note poor optimization.
