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, over-the-top arcade shooter where you blast absurd critters with homemade weapons, with a goofy Southern flair.

What players say

Players describe Dick Wilde as a challenging arcade wave shooter with a distinct swamp/hillbilly aesthetic. The difficulty is a common point: some find it too harsh, while others say it is tough but fair and rewarding. Many enjoy the party mode and the variety of silly weapons, though a few prefer the sequel or other shooters.
