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

You control a cute duck in a chaotic top-down shooter where you must survive waves of enemies by picking random power-ups and using intermittent ponds to heal.

What players say

Players like the cheap price and retro Atari look, but split on the soundtrack and find difficulty spikes after 20 minutes. Some complain the healing upgrade is identical to the health cap upgrade and doesn't work, while others report performance lags late game.
