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 fast-paced, old-school run-and-gun shooter where you blast through waves of aliens and robots with upgrades.

What players say

Players praise the nostalgic arcade shooter action but clash over the tank controls and top-down camera, a cheat code unlocks a third-person view that many call essential. The game is short and brutally difficult, with the final level nearly unplayable for some.
