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

plays like a classic arcade shooter with fast, frantic asteroid destruction and survival pressure.

What players say

Players describe this as a basic, easy Asteroids clone that gets boring fast, some appreciate it as a chill time-waster, but many call it repetitive and bland with no progression, low resolution, and a bugged achievement.
