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 tense, fast-paced arcade experience where the player must react quickly to dodge hazards in a confined arena.

What players say

Players call this a straightforward reflex challenge set on a 6x6 grid. They dodge five trap types, iron balls, bullets, lasers, missiles, spikes, and a mixed limit mode. The speed escalates over time, but the early seconds feel too easy. Several mention low replay value and a lack of Steam achievements.
