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 frantic arcade challenge where you dodge and outsmart enemy patterns using only right turns, with colorful visuals and a focus on high-score replayability.

What players say

Players describe Dextram as a one-button arcade shooter that looks like Geometry Wars but plays differently. It is deceptively simple, with players quickly mastering movement yet needing macro strategy to improve scores. The appeal lies in chasing leaderboard highscores, where even short play sessions become addictive.
