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 pixelated, fast-paced local multiplayer shooter where up to four players frantically battle in arenas with environmental hazards and tarot card power-ups.

What players say

Players love it as a frantic local multiplayer arena shooter, frequently comparing it to TowerFall. They praise the responsive controls, meaty shotgun feedback, and outstanding soundtrack. However, the lack of online play, bots, and single-player content limits its appeal, and some find the asking price steep against competitors.
