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 classic arcade shoot 'em up that feels like a high-energy, skill-demanding rush with vibrant visuals and pounding music.

What players say

Players describe Exostorm as a decent but unremarkable vertical shooter with a very short campaign of four levels. While the 3D environments and score-driven replay are praised, many note the lack of power-ups, enemy variety, and memorable bosses hold it back.
