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

Flying feels heavy and deliberate as you balance resource extraction with real-time tactical command in a tense space conflict.

What players say

Players compare DangerSpace to a parody of Homeworld. It mixes space combat with strategy and base building, all in a small download. The controls and interface draw criticism, with players saying the ship handles like a brick and the UI takes up too much screen space. Some die repeatedly in the tutorial but still enjoy the game.
