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 vertical scrolling shooter that balances tension and comfort, letting you switch between defensive shielding and powerful offense to survive relentless enemy fire and methodically dismantle bosses.

What players say

Players praise its creative final level and vector art style, with many calling the music excellent. The difficulty is considered low for shmup veterans but well-suited for newcomers, and the game is short, around 20 minutes. Some note the first two levels feel generic compared to the later ones, and there is a minor complaint about limited control remapping.
