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, arcade-style shoot-em-up where you blast hordes of aliens with an ever-growing arsenal, unlocking perks and power-ups to survive as long as possible.

What players say

Players describe Action Alien as a mindless arcade shooter that feels empty despite the chaos. It has old graphics, buggy performance, and unobtainable achievements. Some find it fun in short bursts, but most agree it quickly runs out of steam.
