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 relentless barrage of pixelated chaos and explosions as you blast through hordes of enemies in a classic arcade run-and-gun style.

What players say

Players compare Fixeight to its predecessor Outzone, calling it a fun but weaker sequel with interesting boss fights and varied characters. The game's difficulty varies significantly by region: the Japanese version is much harder than the US version.
