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

You steer a spinning-blade cursor through waves of monsters, gaining power and collecting artifact combos in a satisfying loop.

What players say

Players say Cursor Slayer has more depth than it first appears, with an ascension tree and loadout system that add variety. Many finish the game too quickly even after a major damage bug was patched, and some find the early game a slog until unlocks let it run itself. Players are split on the balance between idle and active play, and several note the developer responds fast to bugs and feedback.
