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 fast-paced retro arcade shooter where you blast through waves of enemies and tough bosses with a lively soundtrack.

What players say

Players are split on whether this is a decent quick game or pure achievement fodder. At around 1 hour to beat, it is repetitive and lacks a tutorial, several learned key bindings from comments. Some prefer the original, while others find it an improvement.
