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 brisk, arcade-style shooter with satisfying explosions and physics-based destruction as you upgrade your plane through historical eras.

What players say

Players find Aircraft Evolution repetitive and grindy, with unintuitive controls and a steep difficulty curve. The machine gun and most bombs are useless, leaving only the blue bomb viable, while ground enemies can be cheesed by flying low. The game is short, beaten in roughly five hours, but lacks tutorials and clear progression.
