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.

A fast-paced top-down shooter with deep ship customization and strategic build choices.

What players say

Players praise the upgrade system and build variety but are sharply divided on a progression mechanic that reduces cash earned as you level up, calling it punishing and grind-inducing. The game also suffers from occasional crashes and lacks mouse controls.
