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, visually intense top-down bullet hell shooter with bright, flashing lights.

What players say

Players describe this as a Touhou-inspired bullet hell with a six-stage structure and sci-fi story. The art and music get praise, but some find the bloom effect painful to look at. One character's beam attack is seen as overpowered compared to the others. The game runs short, supports two-player, and gets harder on higher difficulties without feeling impossible.
