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 shooter where you pilot an unwieldy rocket that drifts toward your cursor, racing to survive increasingly chaotic waves and rack up points.

What players say

Players strongly dislike the decision to combine mouse steering and aiming, calling it infuriating and laggy. Some find it a quick 5-minute arcade distraction, while others see it as a low-effort Gamemaker template with no depth, broken achievements, and no health bar.
