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 pilot a helicopter in tight, frantic rescue missions under fire, with a nostalgic arcade feel and pixelated voxel visuals.

What players say

Players compare it to classic Choplifter with simple two-button controls and voxel art. Some enjoy it as a short arcade time-waster, but others call it a shallow mobile port with inconsistent controls and automatic turret fire that removes challenge.
