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 where you blast comical chickens in space with a playful, pun-filled tone.

What players say

Players praise the addition of secondary weapons and screen size options that lower the difficulty compared to earlier entries. A few report the game being flagged as a virus after years of play, and one note that white enemy eggs look like collectibles, causing accidental deaths.
