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, vertical-scrolling shoot 'em up that feels like a modern take on classic arcade shooters, with intense action and a focus on chasing high scores.

What players say

Players describe a decent but grindy bullet hell shooter where dying sends you back to the first stage. Co-op requires a separate purchase, and premium upgrades are currently unavailable due to a connection error, making the endgame very difficult. Split opinions on whether the free content is worth the time.
