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 mouse-driven bullet hell where you frantically dodge and attack, building power through shop upgrades across short, punishing runs.

What players say

Players praise the innovative cursor-based combat and distinct ship designs, but opinions split on balance and progression: some find the grind for meta-currency too slow while others enjoy breaking the economy. The game has only two bosses and players note the last boss is easier than the first.
